A Bicycle for the Mind
I'm not sure how this video got past me. I thought I was one of the biggest fans of early Steve Jobs history, yet somehow I'd never seen this video of Steve describing computers to him:
What a fantastic analogy - and prescient. Love him or hate him, the man is a genius.
In other Steve love, I thoroughly recommend reading Inside Steve's Brain by Leander Kahney. He fawns a little bit, but there are some gem stories in there. Also this analysis of Apple Strategy over at Fishtrain is quite well researched. Perhaps shallow, but gives good context to Apple's major moves over the last 10 years with Steve at the helm.

That is a nice analogy. Thanks for sharing.

s/a little bit/a hell of a lot.
It's the biggest problem I have with the book, and the reason I haven't finished it yet...

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
