Quote of the Day - Jobs

It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." 

- Steve Jobs

Dave Grohl's Grammy Acceptance Speech

"To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of music is what's important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do... It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head]." 

- Dave Grohl, after accepting Grammy award
