I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, ‘If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?’ I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she’d have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we’ve been together ever since.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Apple’s share price plummets today on news that Steve Jobs’ health is not good and he needs to take “an absence of leave” to sort it out.
As expected the markets panicked and huge volumes of shares were traded.
Then, also as expected, once the panic was over everyone remembered that actually Apple is solid, makes awesome products and billions in profits!
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Steve Job’s, spin doctor of note!
Apple pushed out this press release this week to try and clarify their position on not allowing Flash on the iPhone, iPad and iPods. Most techies have been following the stories intricate twists and turns over the last month or so. And almost all of us have an opinion: “oh, it’s just Apple protecting their patch”, “Apple doesn’t like competition”, “Apple is just sorting out an old Adobe vs Apple stand-off,” yada yada.
I didn’t bother to read “the letter” till today, and whilst there’s nothing new in it (technically) that you haven’t read elsewhere, wow, it’s a masterpiece of writing. It’s written in Job’s speaking style - casual but deliberate. It’s so structured - opening statements, resting points at regular intervals, closing argument - man, it’s good.
Please go and read Steve Job’s letter here: Thoughts on Flash

Some say the Apple iPad is super-sized iPhone
What’s next? An oversized iMac the size of a surfboard?

So today, we’re introducing a new plan. It’s called Stimulus 2GS, and it’s sleeker than any economic recovery package ever created. It’s got bridges, it’s got schools, it’s got broadband Internet. All that, and it’s super easy to use—you can control it from iTunes. Pretty cool, huh?
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

Steve Jobs likes to say the word “Boom!”
This 1 minute video clip is pretty funny. Especially funny if you’re a Jobs or Apple devotee.
