Steve Job’s 2005 Stanford commencement address has been already widely distributed on the internet, I’m sure, but in case you have not read it, you should!  In addition to being a great story about the life of a successful business man, it is also a great lesson for many who dream big. The full text was published by Stanford Report.

As a parent, you are understandably proud of your child’s development milstones.  My wife and I are no different.  For many parents, certain milestones do not seem like big deals; however, many believe that there is a tremendous connection between early development and intelligence later in life.  It is also believed–by some relative measure–that humans learn the most during their first two years of life.  Moreover, there are some interesting studies regarding early development, such as walking, and how those developments reflect child’s inntellectual ability down the road.

Marius, our son, started walking at the age of only nine months and three weeks.  Clearly there was much excitement in our family, so we created a short movie about this accomplishment.  Enjoy!

This is my second attempt to keep an online weblog.  I am hoping to be more persistent this time around and include more material about my interests.  Please feel free to post comments and send me suggestions–this will help me further to keep the weblog going.  Thank you and enjoy!

Note: The title “Hello World!” has its origins in the computer programming world, for those who did not know about it.  A computer program that prints out the two words usually demonstrates the simplest form of a computer program.  You can read about it more on Wiki.
