02 Adobe Launches Spark: Visual Storytelling Apps for Everyone
Once upon a time you had to have specialized help to publish your ideas, stories or books. You needed a good camera or a photographer. You needed a designer knowledgable about layout and typography, and you needed a person knowledgable in the method of publishing you needed. Then came desktop publishing, and millions of people became publishers. Now, Adobe erases the last vestiges of specialization. Now, millions of people will do their own for better or worse. It's free for the time being.

03 Remembering Apple Store at 15, and marveling its changes
BetaNews says: "Fifteen years ago today, the first Apple Store opened at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Va. I was there, covering the event for CNET News. Four days earlier, then CEO Steve Jobs briefed journalists -- bloggers, bwahaha, no -- across the way at upper-scale Tysons Galleria. Most of us thought his scheme was kind of nuts, as did analysts, and news stories reflected the sentiment. Recession gripped the country and rival Gateway was in process of shuttering more than 400 retail shops. Timing was madness."

12 Quotes: H. Jackson Brown
"Don't say you don't have enough time.
You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were

Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson,
and Albert Einstein."
