Optimistic View of the BlackBerry 10 Launch

While everyone knows that BlackBerry isn't what it used to be, there is still a desire to see BlackBerry, and it's parent company RIM, recover from a bad few years.  No company has completely filled the hole left by BlackBerry since they started having troubles, and now there is hope that they are getting back on the right track.  BlackBerry 10 is being realeased, and there are signs that it could be it's most popular offering in quite some time.  This doesn't mean that they'll return to being what they were, but a strong new product could help RIM reestablish what used to make BlackBerry the top cell phone brand.

This is the view of Mount Lafayette from Lonesome Lake on Cannon Mountain.  It is about a mile hike to get to Lonesome Lake, and a popular spot with its beautiful views.  There is an AKC hut right near the lake.  This is just the start of the hike if you're planning a full hike up Cannon Moutain.

Quotes from Walt Disney

A selection of quotes by Walt Disney...

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."

"When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable."

"When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do."

"Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future."

"I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with 'expressing' myself with obscure creative impressions."

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

"Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either."
