Steve

I met Steve Jobs once in my life. On January 1st, 2011.
We sat next to each other in my favorite yoghurt place in Palo Alto. With my usual clumsiness I took a “stealth” blurry picture of a frail man typing on his iPhone.
On the way out, I wished Steve and his wife happy new year. He replied with a gentle smile, somehow surprised, and a kind “Thank you”.
There were so many other things I wanted to tell him. Because, somehow, at that precise moment I decided that his words “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” would change my life that year.
I’ll do my best to turn that promise to myself in a reality.

Anyone can touch the life of another random person. With a word. With a smile. With Love. With his passion. With his work. With his vision.
In the end, it’s up to that person to take that and do something with it.

Tread softly

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats

Looks like you decided to start the last leg of your trip a little earlier than originally planned…
We can’t wait to see you, my beloved daughter!

Update: False alarm… still waiting…

The toys of my father

admin — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:50:42 +0000

Growing up I played with simple toys. Soccer balls, plastic soldiers, Lego blocks, colored crayons.
Toys I used to imagine incredible worlds.
Toys my father knew well.
They were his toys too.

I look at my son, now 2, and I try to imagine the kind of toys he is going to play with in the coming years.
Of course he’ll still have access to all the toys I grew up with. But a generation of new devices will provide him the tools to build even more exciting worlds.
My generation is just starting to grasp these new tools, how to make them better, how they can change learning and playing, how they can change the relationship between a father and a son.
I see a great potential there (and also a great chance to fail miserably).
I want to be part of this discovery and creation process.
I want to design these new toys for him and for myself.
