two wish would-be
If I were to wish for two things, they would be as much bandwidth as possible and ridiculously fast browser engines.
home two office
In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.
years two people
One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there's nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.
allowed closed flourish nature open power systems web
The power of the web is not in centralization; it's not in closed systems or anything like that. It's in its open nature, and that's what allowed it to flourish for the first 10 or 15 years.
blogging ease

amazing change
Ubuntu is doing amazing things, and I think it's going to change the face of the desktop.
care child hours late pick school sleep work
I don't care what hours you work. I don't care if you sleep late or if you pick a child up from school in the afternoon. It's all about your output.
job markets
My job is such that I get to run new things every day, and I get to run new markets and new technologies. I enjoy that quite a bit.
Occasionally, if I'm in a rut, I find changing location helps.
