I don’t do this enough, nor do I take it serious enough. We need to embrace it individually, as well as socially. We like to think we do it collaboratively during timed meetings with agendas, but sometimes it’s best to grab one other person and take a walk. For some alone time - pack your lunch and go to the nearest park. If it’s cold outside, head to any quasi-quiet establishment with a bar - coffee bar preferable! Me, sometimes I just take some solitude at Fred’s Breakfast - with a side of freshly squeezed OJ.

I firmly believe in an organized desktop. After clutter collects on the desktop every few days, I’ll organize it; but an artsy desktop theme seems to help keep you organized each and every day.

The full video is here, but the most poignant section about life and death is in this clip.

The text, thanks to Ryan, “Steve Job’s 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech, where he addresses his mortality.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Tilt, by @robcee et al., is an amazing and cool Firefox addon! http://t.co/3FAc5fG” @victorporof’s done all the real work. More at hacks.mozilla.org, because everything is better in 3-D.

Tilt is a Firefox extension that lets you visualize any web page DOM tree in 3D. It is being developed by Victor Porof (3D developer responsible with the Firefox extension itself), along with Cedric Vivier (creating a WebGL optimized equivalent to the privileged canvas.drawWindow, see #653656) and Rob Campbell (who first thought about creating a 3D visualization of a webpage). Everything started initially as a Google Summer of Code project, but now, with an enthusiastic team behind it and so many new features and ideas, it has become an active Developer Tools project.

Hype Machine gets some killer apps: follow the link and try them out to find great music

Hype Machine gets some killer apps: follow the link and try them out to find great music:

I deliberately copied/pasted from the hype machine email: Click the link above for the full version.

• Hype! - we love building stuff, but being a small independent team, there simply aren’t enough of us to make Hype Machine work on every platform out there. So we were thrilled to see Matt use our API to create a free Android app that lets you check out what’s new on the Hype Machine. Try it out.

• Cloudskipper - Listening to music in the default Android player works for some, but frequently gets clumsy and limiting. The guys at Cloudskipperwere frustrated with this and built something much more elegant and social. There is also a decent app from Winamp, if you are into the old-school thunderbolt logo.

• Rd.io - The team at Rd.io is building one of the best subscription services out there. For a small monthly fee, you can listen to as many records and tracks you want, from their library of millions, make playlists and check out what albums your friends are listening to. Legally, of course. They have a slick web player, but also an excellent Android app. If that wasn’t enough, they even have a Blackberry and an iPhone app.

• Soundcloud - You know that huge community of musicians, and audio enthusiasts that hangs out on Soundcloud.com? Well, you can dive right in on your Android phone. There is even an instant recording feature that quickly uploads what you capture, onto the site.

This should get you started. Who knows, one day, we may have enough music apps for the Blackberry to make such a roundup too! ;)
