Kevin Kelly (editor)

Kevin Kelly has some quite interesting posts and pieces of advice on his website, in particular about travelling, which he has done extensively. He is perhaps best known for the essay 1,000 True Fans, but among other things he was co-founder of the Wired magazine company.

From https://www.neil.blog/full-speech-transcript/68-bits-of-unsolicited-advice-by-kevin-kelly:

If you are looking for something in your house, and you finally find it, when you’re done with it, don’t put it back where you found it. Put it back where you first looked for it.

Pros are just amateurs who know how to gracefully recover from their mistakes.

Friends are better than money. Almost anything that money can do, friends can do better. In so many ways, a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.

Art is in what you leave out.

Buying tools? Start with buying the absolute cheapest tools you can find. Upgrade the ones that you use a lot. If you wind up using something as a tool for a job, buy the very best you can afford.
