Steve Jobs is Right. We Must Find What We Love.
In his 2005 Stanford University commencement address Steve Jobs discussed 3 personal stories from his life. The advice he delivered was clear: find what you love, trust in your instincts, and follow your heart. I wrote a short post about this speech awhile ago after reading a portion of the transcript, but I never saw the video until today. This speech conveys a great wealth of firsthand advice on life. If you haven’t seen it, or even if you’ve only read the transcript, its well worth the 15 minutes of your time.
Jim Crammer, Mad or Right?
Here are a couple short (kinda funny) video clips for anybody that’s even slightly tangled up in the extremely volatile stock market swings that have taken place over the last couple of weeks. Jim Cramer, long time hedge fund manager and host of CNBC’s Mad Money blew his lid last Friday during a discussion about the weak U.S. credit markets. He went on to say that Fed Chairman Ben Bernake is playing “academic games” and that fixed income financial Armageddon is upon us. The Monday after this segment aired the market rebounded 289 points, and then today it tumbled back down 387 points. You do the math.
Critics say his advice is subjective nonsense. Advocates say he’s the only big stock market guru who speaks the truth to the average American stockholder. I personally like the guy because, win or loose, he’s passionate about what he does and he tells you exactly what’s on his mind. This is a little off-topic with my recent posts, but I really thought it was worth sharing.

A Comedy Central Colbert Report recap with Jim Cramer:
Lumahai Beach on Kauai’s North Shore
Lumahai Beach along the Hawaiian island of Kauai’s north shore is regarded by many travel websites as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The beach is about 3/4’s of a mile long, a few hundred feet wide, and backed straight up against lush vegetated cliff sides. There is no protective reef in the water which creates frequent high surf and thus extremely dangerous water conditions. When bitter cold New Yorkers or Bostonians catch themselves daydreaming about a picture perfect tropical shoreline, Lumahai is surely the beach they envision. Angel and I stumbled across it during our 8 hour beach hopping adventure throughout Kauai last week. Among the photos we snapped, I also made a short video clip of the powerful surf. This clip really doesn’t do it much justice, but it’s still pretty neat. Enjoy.
The Thriller Wedding Dance
This is hilarious! I figured maybe Angel and I could sucker our wedding party into performing the M.J. Thriller dance at our wedding reception. Who’s in?
