Rick Smolan: A Ton of Humility

I went tonight to see the band at crowded, hip and service-poor bar The Whip. The band was great—they’re managed by Kris Krug.

I, of course, forgot to get the name of the band.  But when I find it, I’ll let you know.

I luckily found an empty chair at the table with Jeremy Wright and Arieanna-and-Ianiv, so it was like a super mini blogger meetup, too.

(Vancouver blogger meetups regularly happen at the Whip, in case you’re interested.  In fact, Hop Studios is sponsoring the next six months of Blogger meetups, it just so happens.)

Kris recently moved back to Vancouver from the San Francisco area, and will be co-writing Susie’s next book

He’s been hanging out at our place recently, using the wifi and working on his chapters.  It’s been fun.

Oh, why did I call The Whip “service-poor”? It took at least 45 minutes from the time I arrived to the time the waitress even came back to our table—and that only happened because I got up and starteed roaming around, looking for her.

Overheard

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?

“ . . . the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”

...who said it?
