You surely didn’t find out from my lowly, under-updated blog that the visionary founder of Apple and technology pioneer Steve Jobs recently succumbed to his long battle with pancreatic cancer.
What you will learn is that I kept Steve as a role model for what the power of the human spirit can bring to revolutionizing the way technology takes a place in our lives. The very first computer I ever learned to use was an Apple, but it is much more than just a mere brand- We should all take Steve’s example and live life to the fullest. Don’t be scared to do something bold, new, uncharted. It is our greatest risks that pay out the greatest rewards.
I lament the fact that I will now never be able to meet a man who inspired me. Who knows, maybe I can become the next “Steve”.
“Don’t let the noise of others drown out your inner voice.”
- Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
I have been working my butt off at the country club, but it is a pretty fun place to work. You get to talk to a lot of people and of course, drive golf carts! Really, the only problem I have with the whole deal is that cell reception isn’t great, and there are no wireless access points anywhere near, so no browsing on breaks and dead periods! If there was, I would be toting my Macbook there every day and do double duty!
Today was an incredible 13 hour workday. My second so far in one week on the job! Ah well, it’s money, and I need that to buy stuff. Particularly a car. I am getting close, but I’m not there yet!
Just a few short days ago I lamented the fact that I lost my beautiful iPhone 3GS jailbreak due to Cydia’s refusal to cooperate with me.
It seems that my timing is impeccable, because the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2 was released just a few hours ago, and as of writing this article, I am back in jailbroken bliss.
I am happy once more! Or at least I will be once I get some sleep. Thanks to a tornado warning and severe weather in Lexington last night, I spent two hours up longer than usual waiting out the storm in the basement of my dorm…resulting in a serious lack of sleep. I am not real sure how I have made it through today! Ha!
Goodnight world! =P
