Obsession
In the end, Richard Back wrote it true:
“Whatever Enchants also Guides and Protects.” (I’m writing this from memory so it may not be verbatim. I’m certain the web has the exact quote from “The Bridge Across Forever”. But also true, is that the way we remember quotes make them more meaningful. Back continues…) “Passionately obsessed by whatever we hold dear: airplanes, sailboats, php code, We are carried over chasms of fear and doubt. And the rules are leveled and dissents are silenced. Without that passion we are boats becalmed on seas of boredom. And those are dangerous.”
And so, be enchanted with code, or gadgets, or teeth (like Michelle), or games, or people, or cars, or planes…
I promised a friend I’d post twice a week from here on onward. Let’s see what becomes of this blog.
