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.

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

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.

That sounds okay for CJ.

How can you POSSIBLY victim blame in a rape case where the victim is 11? How? She could have been naked and trying to sit on your dick, there's no excuse.

It's the eyes thing that would have freaked me out, Suzi. I'm glad they took blood -- but I agree it's better not to know right now what they're checking for.

It reminds me of when Jake was a newborn and it looked like one of his eyes was bleeding. I FREAKED out, and it turned out he'd scratched the rim with one of his tiny, sharp fingernails.
