RIP Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, died yesterday, October 5, 2011. “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” – Jobs, 1993 My computer “career” started with an Apple Macintosh back in 1986.

Want: Temperance Brennan’s Jewelry
While rewatching Bones, I was reminded of how much I love Temperance Brennan’s jewelry. Since I first watched it, I have noticed that parts of my own collection tend to go in a similar direction.

What’s in a calendar?

I have calendars to help me keep track of things. I often get the feeling that I’ve forgotten something, so getting into the habit having calendars updated… will likely be beneficial when I am 88, and forget everything. There is the calendar on the iPhone, which syncs with GoogleCalendar and the iCal on my computer.… Continue reading Calendars
