And a follow up quote

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with a license of a higher order of beings. — Henry David Thoreau

AIDS Awareness Day 2014


The AIDS Quilt/Names Project carries on, remembering those who died from AIDS. The number of panels grows, perhaps not at the same rate it once did, but the whole collection shows no sign of becoming a memory itself.

Weighing 54 tons and composed of more than 47,000 panels dedicated to more than 90,000 individuals, The AIDS Memorial Quilt is the premier symbol of the AIDS pandemic, our greatest HIV prevention education tool and the largest ongoing piece of community folk art in the world.

Speak the truth about AIDS, be safe and remember.

The block above contains the panel (bottom left) that two co-workers and I made to honor the memory of our friend and co-worker Rudy.

Proud of my company, Apple, this year for supporting Product Red on Black Friday, CyberMonday and for the next couple weeks.
