Cosmos a series by Carl Sagan
So I just completed the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan for the first time today and I’m drowning here with hope and deep sorrow simultaneously.
It is 31 years old but yet its message is still as enduring as it was back then. I can not eloquent describe how I feel about the show.
My mind wanders, and I feel that we as a species share a common hope for a grand future, but our disposition towards greed and conflict might cut our hopes & dreams short, perhaps too soon.
You may never know how significant a little act of kindness or word of encouragement may be to someone, but at least know that you have the ability to resonate the best of yourself unto others, and that should be enough.
“Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?” — J.M. Barrie
When you’re a one man show you have to focus on the most important thing to get done today.

Dennis Ritchie, the creator of everything Apple products are based on (C and UNIX) died without much fanfare last week. If Steve was the king of the front end and visible, Dennis was the king of the invisible underpinnings.
He was best known as the creator of the C programming language and a key developer of the UNIX operating system, and as co-author of the definitive book on C, The C Programming Language, commonly referred to as K&R (in reference to the authors Kernighan and Ritchie).
Dennis Ritchie was found dead on October 12, 2011 at the age of 70 at his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. His death, which came a week after the death of Steve Jobs, did not receive as much media coverage.
