We Lost a Magical Man #ThankYouSteve

I knew it was coming, and it was just as sad as if I didn’t.

I’ve had a Mac since I was 7, a Apple Macintosh, and I’ve looked up to him since then.

I wrote school reports about him in elementary school, and I always liked how he was exacting, tough and true to his imagination.

Look what came out of his imagination….. GUI / the mouse / iPod….. omg just to even list all of them is a daunting task, imagine dreaming it up and making it happen?

Can you imagine life without Apple? Exactly.

Gawker has some good retrospectives here, here and here.

You can still send him good wishes, I’m pretty sure most of the world’s belief systems agree that you don’t just zoom out of your body onto the next, it takes time. So follow the instructions in the below video.

There are no Steve Jobs, I’ll always love you RIP.

Hi!

 

Note my new YouTube channel: OtherKeriBlog  It’s for straight-to-the-webcam videos, KeriBlog is now for my produced and edited masterpieces.

I’m moving!  Check out my trunk, aaaamazing.  

It’s a King Kong one, fits in the back of a cab, I tested it out.

I fit inside it.

I am REALLY EXCITED about the fall… can you feel it in the air too?  Dream big and go for it, from now till Christmas the planets are all aligned.

TTYT oh or wait, see ya at the JD Honey party tonight!

The Foundation Has to be Strong

Meet Martin, my business lawyer. We’ve been a team since 2007.

We meet regularly, he shakes his head at my stories of prospecting-for-money-through-blogging, reminds me good partnering practices, and is awesomely old-school.

I take the legal side to what I’m doing here seriously. All my music is royalty-free, I’m sensitive to if people are okay with being put online (see Exploring a Hell Hole for example), and do you ever see photos of children around here?  It’s a foundation, why build it any other way than super strong.

 

RIP Jack Layton

Loved him.

So did the crowd that came out to see him off.  Downtown was packed, all demographics, age, race creed colour everything.  And it was quite sad.

When people heard a commotion coming out the front doors here, they started running. Running! Speaks volumes.

So do all the chalk messages covering Nathan Phillips Square.

If you can, go. You’ve never seen anything like it. When was someone this universally loved in Canada? Nothing in recent memory pops up.

Here’s what I wrote.

RIP Jack, thank you for making Canada better, and I hope your heart is holding up okay Olivia.
