I am looking forward to this book. Guy Kawasaki just gave a brief review on his blog.

The inspiring bit, I guess, is Woz??????s thoughts on being a great engineer:

  • Don??????t waiver.
  • See things in gray-scale.
  • Work alone.
  • Trust your instincts.

I sometimes think I am too negative in my attitude towards ideas. (Sorry Aidan, I don’t mean to be). I’m just a little set in my ways regarding some things and I think sometimes I carry it off with valid arguments and I really try not to railroad. I have a “vision” how things should be and I’m honestly not inflexible, I just see the vision as somewhat uncorruptable. I can be convinced and I can even bend my own vision (as he knows).

Anyway – Woz struck me as the archetypal geek. Enthusiastic. Eager to please. Instinctual. Self-driven.

I wanna be one of them. 🙁
