Hello, welcome to the home of David Yarnell. I am passionate about technology, business, design, cars, motorcycles, & beautiful, easy to use products. More here.Tumblr (3.0; @davidyarnell)http://davidyarnell.com/““We’re keenly aware that when we develop and make something and bring it to market that it really does speak to a set of values. And what preoccupies us is that sense of care, and what our products will not speak to is a schedule, what our products will not speak to is trying to respond to some corporate or competitive agenda. We’re very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people.””<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/9283486/Jonathan-Ive-interview-Apples-design-genius-is-British-to-the-core.html"><strong>Jonathan Ive</strong><br/><br/></a></em>http://davidyarnell.com/post/23971856881http://davidyarnell.com/post/23971856881Mon, 28 May 2012 22:08:00 -0400quoteuoad<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9we4wRo4s1qz6pqio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://startupquote.com/post/1259675145">startupquote</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The idea of being all things to all people is a thing of the past.</p> <p>- Michael Dell</p> </blockquote>http://davidyarnell.com/post/22046787705http://davidyarnell.com/post/22046787705Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:52:49 -0400uoad<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37904GtKr1qbx0ito1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Write drunk; edit sober.</p> <p>- Ernest Hemingway</p>http://davidyarnell.com/post/21986798813http://davidyarnell.com/post/21986798813Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:09:00 -0400quoteuoad<a href="http://blog.steffanantonas.com/the-cookie-jar-principle.htm">The Cookie Jar Principle | Steffan Antonas</a>: <p><span>Give more than you take.

His creativity, and passion for innovation and technology has truly been an inspiration to me.
