the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

She also seems to have acquired some friends who are deranged conspiracy theorists.

True 'dat.

I don't call being sad that someone who has touched the lives of so many people and quite literally changed the way we communicate across the globe as a species has died canonization.

Perhaps we should reserve that status for musicians and artists?

Only one of them, I think.

All that said, if I may return to elevating Steve Jobs to godhood, I was just a little let down that when I started up my Mac at work this morning that it didn't give me a sad Mac icon. Part of me really believed that there was secret coding worked into the OS that would make a sad Mac pop up after Jobs died.

Happy Birthday, Sail!

Because books.

Is this someone we all know?

Happy birthday, Sail! With extra cake!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

OH. Right.

Perhaps we should reserve that status for musicians and artists?

I think it would be fair to call Steve Jobs an artist.

I think Ready Player One and Daemon have skewed my expectations of what's supposed to happen when tech bigwigs die.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy, that brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from The Big Lebowski on Nihilism being exhausting.

I have zero motivation today. I need to clean off my desk, clean the carpets and go buy Liv new sheets.

And yet...here I sit.

Most of us do.

I wonder if I can convince Owen to go as Steve Jobs for Halloween.

Not with a Justin Beiber haircut.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wonder if I can convince Owen to go as Steve Jobs for Halloween.

The problem might be convincing him not to go as Steve on Nov 1, Nov 2, Nov 3...

I think Owen should go as himself with a sign that reads, "The Next Steve Jobs."

Thanks for the birthday happies, all! There were donuts at work today. (Not for me, one of my co-workers is leaving and brought donuts as a farewell gift, but I'm not one to look a gift donut in the mouth. Ima eat the bastard.)
