There have been so many articles posted on Steve Jobs in the past week, I really thought I wasn’t going to add one here on my blog. However, yesterday, John Lilly wrote a great piece on Steve…
It was a beautiful evening in my neighborhood, and I was enjoying one of my giant homebrews on a deck chair I had placed in the middle of the street, as part of a nearby block’s Annual Stree…

I should be in the middle of an interview right now. About fifteen minutes into it, in fact.
