Hello Martin

I’ve been watching the iconoclasts series from Sundance, and came across a episode of David Chappelle and Maya Angelou, where one bit blew me away.
As my friend Michiel says, Maya Angelou should be “read” by Maya Angelou, but i haven’t been able to find the clip, so buy the dvd/itunes episode.

I could not find the quote online, and simply for the greater good i wrote it down, so it will always be preserved (or as long the internet exists anyway)

David Chappelle:
“You’ve written books, you teach.
And your from a time when the society, would tell you that, these types of things probably wasn’t in the realm of possibilities
And fact that you’ve lived abroad, a global perspective, pre-globalisation.

What do you attribute it to?”

Maya Angelou:

“I attribute it to Love

Love is a condition, so powerful that it may be that, which holds the stars in a firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins.

Courage, you have to have courage to love somebody.
Because you risk everything, everything“

Was reading the Nytimes story regarding the move people are doing to cut the cost of traveling/transportation and how Amtrak have seen a surge in bookings.

Overall growth for May compared to last year seem to be around 15% which is phenomenal growth. Obvious reason is the high cost of fuel, which makes using the train a cheaper alternative in many cases (and more environmental friendly).

This had me think of the news that Warren Buffett invested in rail operators beginning of last year, and lo and behold, the shares he picked up seem to have gained around 20% over the last 12 months.

Scary, i guess he did it again…

I don’t own a single apple product, i’m still waiting for someone to prove that they can do anything quicker on a apple product. I used to have a apple express but it broke.

However i almost converted after seeing the new iTunes commercial.

It’s just phenomenally done!
