Dependency management needed for JavaScript

It would be interesting if someone created a dependency management system like "apt" for JavaScript libraries.

My take on failure

3/09/2008

Up until taking his Series 7 examination, my younger brother was really nervous about failing. He asked me for preparation advice just two days shy of the exam. Rather than recanting study rituals or memorization tips, I confidently translated my core belief into English:

In a world without failure, there is only hard work and success.

This is something that has resonated with me for years. I am impressed that I was able to distill this idea into few words.

Remembering old data

3/09/2008

So I caved in and picked up a new MacBook Pro. Having recently abandoned my iMac, this new laptop has become my primary workhorse. In the process of migrating data, I came across an old folder called "End of Babson Docs." Despite the descriptive label, I was curious as to what was stuffed in there...

It turns out that in my final hours of graduating college I copied/pasted everything on my desktop, bookmarks, fonts, various Photoshop Tennis files, random digital experiments, 2-3 web server root directories, and a bunch of of stray documents. The crazy thing about looking at this old data is that I actually remember the significance of most of the 1,500+ files.

The sad realization from all of this is that I may not be good with remembering names of acquaintances but I have no problem with recognizing old files and directory layouts. This is a new world.
