Text Pad in a Browser

There should be a text pad in a browser. So the next time you want to cut+copy+paste some good lines you just came across, you don't have to open up a note pad or your blog for that matter, like I just did. Anyways, this so beautifully sums up a lot of what I think.

Most of us don’t hear a voice inside our heads. We’ve simply decided that we’re going to work in finance or be a doctor because that’s what our parents told us we should do or because we wanted to make a lot of money. When we consciously or unconsciously make that decision, we snuff out that little voice in our head. From then on, most of us put it on automatic pilot. We mail it in. You have met these people. They’re nice people. But they’re not changing the world. Jobs has always been a restless soul. A man in a hurry. A man with a plan. His plan isn’t for everyone. It was his plan. He wanted to build computers. Some people have a voice that tells them to fight for democracy. Some have one that tells them to become an expert in miniature spoons. When Jobs first saw an example of a Graphical User Interface — a GUI — he knew this was the future of computing and that he had to create it. That became the Macintosh. Whatever your voice is telling you, you would be smart to listen to it. Even if it tells you to quit your job, or move to China, or leave your partner.

Suddenly remembered how I used to write the English meanings over words in an Arabic sentence, as the teacher ranted off quickly. I would then go back home and try to get a mapping of Arabic to English. Sounds so funny now, back then it was serious business !

Restless, but positively so.

"I make things".

One simple sentence which almost sounds like a prayer, like an anthem perhaps.

Ofcourse, who better a person than X to have 'sayed' it.

I am almost willing to drop the usual usage of the quoted word. I prefer this one.

P.S. : I could give off my right hand to never code a DAO layer again, sucks all the more when you don't have a proper database in place.
