I suppose even when I was growing up, I noticed I was most happy when I was absorbed in something, lost in the moment and forgot the time, whether was conversation, movie, or a game I was playing. That was my definition of happiness. And I was least happy when I was all over the place, distracted and restless.

I think writing is really about a journey of understanding. So you take something that seems very far away, and the more you write about it, the more you travel into it, and you see it from within.

A traveler is really not someone who crosses ground so much as someone who is always hungry for the next challenge and adventure.

We're not just limited by technology but by our ideas and our experimentation and how quickly we can try things.

The problem with technology, as with fashion, is that it's impossible to be 'in' forever.

Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.
