“Would you please clap your hands.
Now get up on your feet.
I beg of you to get up and dance,
It’s such a crazy kick ass beat” —The Bird and the Bee, “Polite Dance Song”

I am ready to jump off a cliff… in a good way. About to free fall into some awesome opportunites. :)

Dive in! The water’s nice.

“So, go into the world. Make something useful for other people. Set higher standards for yourself than anybody else is setting for you, your editors especially. Go the extra mile to be fair to people. Put in the extra work to understand them on their terms. And amuse yourself. Follow the thing that interests you and attracts you and amuse yourself. More than anything else that will lead to work that is valuable to other people.” — Ira Glass, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Commencement Speech, 2000

Question: How would you survive without spellcheck?

lovepuppy:

Answer: I wouldn’t. I would die of social embarrassment. See, I just typed that wrong. Thank God for spell check.

I love spell check too. I love that it’s everywhere. I got sort of sad at work today when I read over at least 5 documents where people clearly didn’t even bother with it. Doesn’t Microsoft Word® have that annoying little red squiggly when you spell something wrong? How do you miss that?!

Come on, people. You can spell “anticoagulant” and “glutaraldehyde” correctly, yet not see what’s wrong with typing “requirment”?

Seriously?

“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.” —Steve Jobs (via gcn) (via whatson) (via soupsoup)
