The internet is undoubtedly teaming with condolences, grieving and other information as it comes in regards to the passing of Steve Jobs today. An avid Mac user & tech industry girl, myself, I wanted to share my condolences for this incredible loss. To family, friends, the technology industry and ultimately the world.
The world has certainly lost one of the most revolutionary and brilliant minds there has ever been. A profound thinker, and endless dreamer coupled with persistence and intelligence rivaled by few, he changed the face of technology and entertainment for eternity.
The commence speech from 2005 below highlights many of his admirable characteristics and he explains how he came from a college drop out (Which gives me hope as I am still -not by choice- BFA-less) to a multi-billion dollor corporation that changed the personal computer forever. Not to mention founding Pixar, which has brought me endless joy and hours of entertainment in the form of Finding Nemo, Kung-Fu Panda, and countless other childrens films.
“…death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new…Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Just like is was supposed to the last time, and the time before that… and the time before that.
Luckily, for me, I am certainly not going to heaven… Sooo. In lieu of that, I am getting in touch with all my friends (because the are definitely not getting into heaven either – if you have meet someone the people I choose to surround myself with, you’ll know this is a FACT) and we’re preparing for a) the Zombie Apocalypse as CDC has informed us, or b) steal a cruise ship and a life times supply of xanax, alcohol, and apple pie and coffee to prepare ourselves for a round the world cruise, stopping off at variable locations to hijack more supplies, attractive people and exotic animals.
If you would like to be considered as a participant in our journey, please reply explaining why you are not going to heaven, what you can contribute to these festivities and where we should pull into port to pick you up.
Charlie Sheen is (still) bat-shit crazy, and more than ever rambling on about his super awesomely intense mind, living the dream and how the rest of society are simply a bunch of “Losers.”
His spastic, coked-up interivew can be seen here. And while you’re enjoying all the “Charlie on Charlie” internet banter you can live the Sheen dream here.
Starbucks is now upgrading from their largest Venti sized (24oz) drink to the new behemoth-sized “Trenta,” weighing in at a whopping 31oz for their iced beverages. Quaffing just reached a whole new level of gluttonous.
They’re claiming that unsweetened drinks will top out at 90cal while sweetened drinks will cap at 230… Thoughts: Elastic waistbands.
East Coast USA has been getting absolutely pummled by mother nature this past week, and while some people are miserably stuck in their houses or airports (Such as I was connecting through Minneapolis the other week en route to make great decisions *sarcasm*), others have taken the opportunity to get arty with photography, deliquency and time lapse photography as seen below.
I find it somewhat ironic that the first time Skype has had a major outage since 2007 is right around the holidays when everyone and their mother (literally) is making calls to their loved ones or people they feel obligated to stay in touch with if the end result is gifts, and when business is most certainly on the rise.
Over 20 millions calls are made per day and Skype says it’s been running at about half that volume due to a software malfunction… A very expensive one.
You can follow their blog for updates that states they’re slowly getting more people back online, which I’ve not experience so I’m convinced they’re a bunch of big fat liars. But in the meantime if you’re in desperate need to make that phone call check out other programs like Oovoo, or even AIM video chat.
Also to be noted: If you look at the word “Skype” long enough it begins to become an unintelligble mash of letters…
Hope you’re done building your nuclear fallout shelter or some sort of underground cryogenic chamber because North Korea just started bombing the shit out of South Korea. Who, in kind, have returned fire. Oh, great. Basically… a summation of everything I could say (but wont waste my breath) is in the video below.
TODAY IS, FOR SOME UNGODLY REASON OR ANOTHER, CAPS LOCK DAY. WHY? I HAVEN’T A FUCKING CLUE, BUT I WILL PARTICIPATE IN HOPES OF IRRITATING THE EVERLIVING CHRIST OUT OF AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. HOORAY FOR MORE INTERNET N3RDISM GONE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.
