Why I Wear Purple

Okay. So, lots of folks who are just getting to know me wonder why so much Purple shows up in what I wear and carry.

Well, as silly as it may seem, I read a poem in my twenties that really affected me. It's called When I Am an Old Woman. Doesn't seem to apply, does it? But I encourage you to read it. :)

The main lesson gained, for me, is don't wait to live and do and be. And for me, part of that meant I wear purple. :)

We Don't Have the Smartest People

That's the Bill Joy "quote" that I've had in my head. I've quoted it so many times. I've had a 'todo' to go find the reference for it for years. I finally got around to that today.

The actual line is

there are always more smart people outside a company than inside it
-- Bill Joy

Comes for the Java One talk he gave (2003?) talking about how "Innovation Happens Elsewhere". Made the point that every company should have a plan for working with the open source world since that's how software will be developed in the future.

Some references


/me quietly crosses off that aged item from the todo list
