skills perfect trying
If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.
google news use
I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.
color people trying
I had no money. I had no savings account.So I would bring down my color TV set, a Sears TV with a cable snaked into it - they had no video-in back in those days - and hooked it up to the circuit of very few chips and then a little keyboard you could type on. And I was trying to impress people with how did he do it with fewer chips than anyone could ever imagine?
life thinking matter
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
school character shapes
I'd learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw - shapes of characters and things.
littles computer economy
In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.
design shy clubs
The Homebrew Computer Club was the highlight of my life. I was too shy to ever talk in the club meeting, but the way that I could communicate sometimes was by doing good designs. I was very skilled at a certain type of circuit design.
lying knowing politics
But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.
teacher smart science
Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
artist
Artists work best alone. Work alone.
successful thinking years
When you're about 20 years old, you kind of think out - I figured out that it was better - less good to be successful and better to have a laughing life, laugh more than you frown all through your life. Because on the day you die, which one would you have said had the happier life, the better life? And so I put a lot of humor in my life.
jobs apples design
Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that
cruise prius certain
Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild, but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely.
next months calculators
I sold my most valuable possession, but I knew that because I worked at Hewlett Packard, I could buy the next model calculator the very next month for a lower price than I sold the older one for!
