Time to relax!

• “It was my younger daughter, Emily, who brought this to my attention. We work together. ‘Dad,’ she has said to me countless times in recent years, ‘you don’t always have to be accomplishing stuff. It’s fine to just do something purely because you enjoy doing it.” – What I learned on my Vacation
• “This is a love letter to a machine. It’s not quite the love Joaquin Phoenix felt in ‘Her,’ last year’s Spike Jonze film about a lonely man’s romantic relationship with his intelligent operating system (played by the voice of Scarlett Johansson). But it’s close. In a world where the commonly held wisdom is that technology isolates us, it’s worth considering another side of the story.” – To Siri, with Love: How one Boy with Autism became BFF with Apple’s Siri
