Sprite Kit – new 2D Game Engine made by Apple

Sprite Kit – new 2D Game Engine made by Apple

Just watching the #WWDC Sprite Kit presentation and it is clearly my favorite wwdc piece so far. Great surpise for developers!

Apple has clearly sherlocked current open source 2D Game Engines
and made great tools for iOS/Mac developers. A dozen startups just curled up and died. Or not :)

Can´t tell more since it´s NDA protected information.

Some more information at:

You Are Here Now

You Are Here Now

TAKE A BREATH. Take a deeper breath.

Imagine that you’re 95 years old and ready to die. Before taking your last breath, you’re given a great gift: The ability to travel back in time—the ability to talk to the person who is reading this page, the ability to help this person be a better professional and lead a better life.

The 95-year-old you understands what was really important and what wasn’t, what mattered and what didn’t. What advice would this wise “old you” have for the “you” who is reading this text?

Take your time and answer the question on two levels: personal advice and professional advice. Jot down a few words that capture what the old you would be saying to the younger you.

Once you’ve written these words down, the rest is simple: Just do whatever you wrote down. Make it your resolution for the rest of the current year, and the next. You have just defined your “there.”

————-

People who were dying were interviewed and ask them what advice they would have had for themselves. The answers he got were filled with wisdom.

One recurring theme was to reflect upon life to find happiness and meaning now,” not next month or next year. The Great Western Disease lies in the phrase, I will be happy when . . . As in, I will be happy when I get that promotion, or I will be happy when I buy that house, or I will be happy when I get that money. The wise old you has finally realized that the next promotion, the next achievement, the next move to a larger house or a more attractive corner office won’t really change your world that much. Many older people say they were so wrapped up in looking for what they didn’t have that they seldom appreciated what they did have. They often wish they would have taken more time to enjoy it.

A second recurring theme was friends and family. Consider this: You may work for a wonderful company, and you may think that your contribution to that organization is very important. When you are 95 years old and you look at the people around your deathbed, very few of your fellow employees will be there waving good-bye. Your friends and family will probably be the only people who care. Appreciate them now and share a large part of your life with them.

Yet another recurring theme was the reflection to follow your dreams. Older people who have tried to achieve their dreams are always happier with their lives. Figure out your true purpose in life, and go for it! This doesn’t apply just to big dreams; it is also true for little dreams. Buy the sports car you always wanted, go to that exotic locale that’s always held your fascination, learn how to play the piano or speak Italian. If some people think your vision of a well-lived life is a bit goofy or offbeat, who cares? It isn’t their life. It’s yours. Few of us will achieve all of our dreams. Some dreams will always elude us. So the key question is not, Did I make all my dreams come true? The key question is, Did I try?
