Right, so the stock will plummet and it'll be like a SALE!

Since the only reason Steve Jobs would resign is he's probably about to die, that's kinda sad.

I was thinking that too, given his statement:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

Jobs was kicked out of Apple in 1985,and didn't hit rock bottom until 10 years later.

Also, Tim Cook, his replacement, has been running the day-to-day business for several years now.

I'm not worried about operations. I don't think there's anybody who's had a better sense of how to market technology and integrate it into people's lives than Job. He's consistently been able to see four years down the road and know how to shape the culture and the technology. While the record companies were sitting around with their thumbs up their asses, Jobs saw what Napster was about and created iTunes. Tim Cook won't be able to do that.

That's what I wasthinking, too.

I was just watching Rizzoli & Isles, and saw one of my former students from about 8 years ago playing a really bit part. It wasn't even a big enough part for him to be in imdb, but I found him on Facebook, and it was he! SO weird.

anyone have word about CJ yet?

Timelies all!

Got back from my trip last night.(Yes, I am amused that while I was in San Francisco waiting for my plane to take off there was an earthquake practically in my backyard.)

Worldcon was fun, aside from some logistic problems. Am tired, but not as much as I would have expected from the jet lag.(Not to mention a certain feline who kept meowing outside our bedroom last night) I have a sneaking suspicion tomorrow may kick my ass but good.

Is it ok to use fortnightly for twice a month?

DH is bummed about Pat Summit.

That's so sad about Pat Summit.

Fortnightly means every two weeks, so strictly speaking it's not twice a month.

Timelies! I just wanted to announce that I have, for the 3rd or 4th time in my life, just burned a pot of hard-boiled eggs.

I forgot about it. Even though I only have 1 room in my apartment, the airconditioner is on and I couldn't hear it boiling.

Luckily, I smelled it before it set off the smoke alarm.

I'm just so proud of myself right now.

Hey Connie. We went to the doc and he said CJ's nose is raw and to treat it gently while it heals (careful in karate and with his high altitude training on Saturday). He gave CJ a few tips for if he gets any nose bleeds in the next week. They also took 3 vials of blood to check for various things. I'm kinda glad he didn't give me a laundry list of what they are checking (don't need anything extra to worry about until results are available on Friday). Based on CJ's medical history, he hasn't had issues with uncontrolled bleeding before, so this was likely a freaky one off thing. But I'm glad they are checking anyway.
