Build Your Wings on the Way Down

post from Daring Fireball on 30 September 2007 09:25:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Annie Dillard: ?If we listened to our intellect, we?d never have a love affair. We?d never have a friendship. We?d never go into business, because we?d be too cynical. Well, that?s nonsense. You?ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.?

Update: Seems like this quote was originally from Ray Bradbury, not Annie Dillard.

Richard Sprague, iPhone Doubter

Richard Sprague, back in January:

So please mark this post and come back in two years to see the results of my prediction: I predict they will not sell anywhere near the 10M Jobs predicts for 2008.

Consider it marked. As of earlier this month, Sprague still thinks his prediction is looking good. Perhaps Sprague would like to make it an actual wager.

Looks like Apple made a smart move shipping this guy from their marketing department to Microsoft’s.

Technical Stupidity

The Times of London claims the price of the iPhone in the U.K. as £899 — £269 for the phone, and the rest from the minimum monthly contract with O2. Do they compute the price for other phones this way? (Let me guess: No.)

Phillies Win First NL East Title Since 1993

post from Daring Fireball on 30 September 2007 07:27:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

I love the Phillies and hate the Mets, so this is pretty sweet. The Mets had a 7.5-game division lead just a few weeks ago. Hard to believe, really, given just how bad the Phillies have been since ?93.

Interesting word, “currently”.
