Ideas are often generated in physical gathering places where people with diverse interests encounter one another serendipitously. That is why Steve Jobs liked his buildings to have a central atrium an...
I was way too shy ever to be a business leader like Steve.
I was originally supposed to become an engineer, he later wrote a friend, but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a b...
I think different religions are different doors to the same house.
I see God in the instruments and mechanisms that work reliably.
I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much, he said as he pointed out the clean elegance of the houses. It was the original vision for A...
