Maybe I am lost. But maybe I just don't want to be found, either.

FUTURE COMPUTERS? (Source.)
The cover of Byte, the Small Systems Journal, for April 1981. In it, a Robert Tinney piece depicts a small bezeled computer on a man's steel wristwatch; the tiny QUERTY keyboard and four side function keys fit on the face, while the micro-CRT reads, "INSERT DISK". Two fingers gingerly load the 5 1/4mm diskette into the side of the wristwatch.

Today, the world honors Martin Luther King Jr,,, and every day Public Enemy honors him.

We was touring with U2 and they respected our desire to boycott playing in Arizona since they wouldnt recognize MLK Day. We just walked off stage.

I began a project that involves dogfooding products I'm associated with. The goal is to build something without any knowledge of how the products work.

I discovered areas ripe for improvement that will translate into improvements for customers.

I'm damn good at what I do.
