Mac Daddy

Here it is - a film about Macintosh computers, Apple and the people who are passionate and dedicated users.

This documentary is amazing. It is a love note to a computer, a lifestyle and to Steve Jobs.

I had one of the first 100 Macs that shipped as I worked on the Macintosh rollout at my firm, Redgate Communications, with Apple Computer.

I loved MacPaint. :-) Remember that little spray paint can?

I went to every MacWorld conference for ten years. I pulled all nighters working on the Macintosh Buyers Guide for Steve Jobs. We shipped our magazine in with the first 500,000 Macintosh shipments.

That was all in 1984 - 25 years ago.

I love and respect Steve Jobs, his turtlenecks; his New Balance sneakers; and his keynote speeches.

Steve Jobs is our generation’s greatest inventor and executive. Macintosh. iPod. iTunes. iPhone. What a legacy.Watch this film on SnagFilms.com. Macintosh - the computer for the rest of us – insanely great! Grab this film widget if you own a Mac or love Apple Computer. Show it to your friends! Pass it on.

‘It Gets Dark Sometimes”

Yesterday’s news of Steve Jobs was stunning to me. Having a liver transplant is a major piece of medical technology and is a very serious operation.
 
I had some experience with a friend and an employee named Wendy Marx who ended up having multiple liver transplants. Unfortunately she passed away but her life is celebrated and remembered in a wonderful book written by her brother, Jeffrey Marx. Click here for details.
 
Jeff is best friends with Olympian Carl Lewis and both of them are to be commended for their work in organ donation and for remembering Wendy Marx, a wonderful person and truly a pioneer in helping to raise awareness about the benefits of organ donation and the creation of a real time database that can match up folks.
 
My prayers are with Steve Jobs and his family.

Get Well Soon Steve Jobs

Perhaps the most influential business exec of the last 25 years, Steve Jobs, stepped down from the helm of Apple last evening.

This is a shocking development but Steve is a family man and needs the time to recoup, get strong and to spend true quality time with his family.

I first met Steve Jobs in 1979. He is a true dedicated genius, one of the few people that I would call a great generational thinker. At a time like this, we should all collectively thank him for all he has done for consumers and the industry and wish him Godspeed and to get well soon.

CNBC Needs to Fire This Newsman Today

They got the story wrong.

Then they showed no human empathy. Steve Jobs just had pancreatic cancer. He disclosed a related illness and CNBC tried to “make a funny.”

Apple is a world class company. Steve Jobs is a historic figure but he is also a husband and a dad and a friend to many.

This is yet another example of why MSM has no shame. There was no need for this display of lack of respect and human dignity.
