If you know me, you know that I am huge fan of Apple, Inc. and it's charismatic founder Steve Jobs. Jobs is widely seen as the key to Apple's huge successes (and mistakes) over the years, a creative and demanding CEO who defies conventional wisdom and creates his own. I don't agree with everything he says or does but I do think he has lots to offer and a way of looking at things that is out of the ordinary. If you have some time and you are in a reflective sort of mood, check out this video of Jobs giving the commencement address (about 15 minutes) at Stanford University in 2005. I found it inspiring. It's classic Steve Jobs but with the added surprise of unusual vulnerability for a usually private man. His life stories are genuine and compelling. Enjoy!

Hey Dan,
Hilarious video, thanks for posting it! Of course I won't take a shot at your PC -it's too easy! Take care,
Mark
Hey Mark,
Good Answer. I don't generally make fun of Macs, (because I don't hear too many bad things), but I got the link from a friend who likes/uses Macs, and I knew you had one...so I couldn't resist. My favorite 2 lines:
1.) "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away."
2.) "I like how the email automatically says, 'sent from a Macbook Wheel,' that way people know you have one."
Take care!
Dan G.
