 Clayton Christensen, 1953-2020: How will you measure your life?
Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people.

Jamie Zawinski: MP3 is finally free. "MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free. There has never been another audio format as widely supported as MP3, it's good enough for almost anything, and now, over twenty years since it took the world by storm, it's finally free."
Matthew Inman: You're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you. Another beautiful story, well told.
