Virtualenv Setup with pip on Mac OS X

This is how I setup virtualenv using pip on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Python 2.6 (modified from Jontourage).

Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

sudo pip install virtualenv
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

Add to .bash_profile:

# virtualenv
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

For the changes to .bash_profile to take effect, open a new terminal window or:

source ~/.bash_profile

The Crazy Ones

The original Apple “Think Different” commercial voiced by Steve Jobs.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

The TV version was narrated by Richard Dreyfuss.

The SEAL Sensibility

Some men who seemed impossibly weak at the beginning of SEAL training—men who puked on runs and had trouble with pull-ups—made it. Some men who were skinny and short and whose teeth chattered just looking at the ocean also made it. Some men who were visibly afraid, sometimes to the point of shaking, made it too.

Almost all the men who survived possessed one common quality. Even in great pain, faced with the test of their lives, they had the ability to step outside of their own pain, put aside their own fear and ask: How can I help the guy next to me? They had more than the “fist” of courage and physical strength. They also had a heart large enough to think about others, to dedicate themselves to a higher purpose.
