I'd love to have time to read the latest book, but life always points me in another reading direction...

Anonymous - The Story of Aaron Swartz Full Documentary
Just hanging out on youtube and I came across this pretty amazing documentary of the late Aaron Swartz. I had never heard of him, but now I know who he is. Such a brilliant person and gone way to soon.
He created so many site and even had the idea of a version of wikipedia before it became wikipedia!
Anyway what touched me was a statement about passion (that is how I take the quote from the film) his thinking was, what was the most important thing you could be working on now and why aren't you doing it? Pretty powerful stuff.
But to tie this back into my book blog, I found out he created openlibrary.org A place where each published book could get a web page. Pretty incredible undertaking! Now I don't know who or how it's run but what an idea!
Check this film out. Pretty inspirational!
