"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
–Steve Jobs

Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
–J. Robert Oppenheimer

DATE WITH FATE

Unfortunately, thunder and lighting are rare here in San Jose.  But over the last few planetary spins we've experienced a notable showering of fire from the sky.  A lick of which met unfavorably with one of our First St residents.
Yggdrasil it was not but unfortunate none the less.
