While the rest of the world drools/is decidedly lukewarm over the recently-announced Apple iPad, I’ve found myself wanting more and more, the Apple iPhone. Now that it’s gone through three generations, with each new generation adding more features and power to the devilishly beautiful device, and now that it’s backed up by more than 140,000 [...]

Invictus
January 20th, 2010 · Comments · Tangential
My favorite poem. Written by English poet William Ernest Henley in 1875.

I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass [...]
