Penny Cooper is back and is holding a Doll Conference.
I have no idea what they're discussing. "It's for dolls."
The pink fabric to the left is a sari from Kirsten, I'd ordered the Dolls book, and "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." is the back cover of The Whole Earth Epilog, by Stewart Brand & team.
A copy was donated to the store and I brought it home for a little while before listing it on eBay ($35).
It gets attention because Steve Jobs quoted it at the end of a commencement speech in 2005. Jobs said:

"When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.Here's the video and full text of Job's speech:
"This was in the late 1960s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors and Polaroid cameras.
It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
"Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age.
"On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: 'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.' It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."

A conference without PowerPoint? Great!
ReplyDeleteI think there was interpretive dance instead... :)
ReplyDeleteI love that -- "Stay hungry, stay foolish." Wise words! I am occasionally hungry and occasionally foolish, but it's hard to consistently be both.
