You Will Be Missed…

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

I currently don’t have many words to share, but there’s a part of me that truly wants to cry.  Steve was a creative inspiration to me.  His attitude and rebellion proved to me that not following the status quo can actually lead to success…that you don’t have to be a mindless robot to make it in this world.  I think he did that for a lot of people.  My generation doesn’t have very many public-figure role models and he was one.

The picture above is Apple’s front page, and I just felt like I should post it.  I want this screenshot to be a part of my site’s archives.  It just seems like it belongs here.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Steve’s family, friends, and the users of his products around the world who he has affected so deeply.  You truly will be missed…

Will The Little Rock Apple Store Opening Be As Exciting Now?

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

The famous black construction walls protecting the nice, new, shiny Apple Store being built deep within...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A person with whom I interact on Google+ said this earlier this evening:

“The opening of Apple Store in Little Rock won’t feel near as exciting now.”

I don’t totally agree with that statement.  It will be bittersweet, sure, but not less exciting.  This is my response:

Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple

Ok, first of all, I know this is already all over the web, but I’m mainly posting this for my own personal reasons.  For posterity really.  This is a major happening in the world of Apple, a company I truly believe in, and I want to be a part of this.  I really don’t care if anybody reads this at all.  It’s just for me.  I feel a bit sad, and this maybe is my way of dealing with it.  I wan’t even paying attention to the tv, and then I heard those words… “Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced he’s resigning from the company he helped build.”  Wow.  That truly caught me off guard.  I know it’s been coming for a while now, but this just seemed sudden.  I do fear slightly for the company’s future, but I also think Tim Cook is the best man to take the reigns.  I hope Steve is ok and that this is not a precursor to much more sad things down the road…  I hope this is just a personal decision for him, and not a decision dictated by his health.  I wish you all the best Steve.

Jobs: Thoughts On Flash

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

As some of you may know, Apple and Adobe have been trading licks concerning Flash not being available on Apple’s mobile devices.  The back-and-forth has gotten a bit childish and the press has only reported one-liners and here-say mostly.  For the average consumer, and even the tech enthusiast, it’s seemed like a blur of jabs and right-hooks that haven’t really told us anything useful.  Steve Jobs has now decided to try to clear things up with a public letter.  Even if you’re not a fan of Apple products, it’s a good read, and it’s also nice to see him trying to cool the boiling waters around this subject.  Enjoy!
