Steve Jobs’s Real Genius : The New Yorker →
The more complete the picture of his actual personality becomes, the less clear it becomes whether he was a Good Guy or a Bad Guy. But the one thing that is clear, is that he was anything but a perfect man. And if you learn nothing else from his life, you should learn that you can achieve greatness despite your faults. And if you can figure it out, because of them.

God created this world because after you know everything and are everything, the only thing that’s left is to help others. Ok, brain, can I go back to sleep now?

Learned about this site at SXSW. Interesting service that matches an anonymous Ventor with an anonymous Listener. So you can either vent about whatever or you can listen to someone vent. Fascinating.

Mr. Mom Summary
Mr. Mom has surrendered. Katie got home this morning and I went back to work. I really enjoyed spending time with our kids. They were relatively well behaved for the week and we did lots of fun stuff. But I didn’t enjoy having to entertain my lovely kids for what seemed like all 24 hours of a day. In answer to the question of “Did it go well?” I’d have to give a qualified...

The Best Laid Plans
I’m nerdy for a lot of reasons, but one of the nerdier things I like to do is look up origins of common phrases. Today I decided to look up “The Best Laid Plans.” Sometimes people say that when things go wrong, “Well, you know, the best laid plans …” So, it turns out that is from a poem. This may not be a surprise to some of the smarter set. Me? I thought it...

Added dinner to the list of meals I feed my kids! Tomorrow is the super bonus round because I’ve got to get the 4 year old to preschool on time.

Day One of Mr. Mom
Got the kids to church on time & ready. Fed the kids breakfast & lunch (2 out of 3’s not bad). In bed only an hour and a half after bedtime. Not bad.

Hell is Other Religions
There was a period of my life during which I was on a mission. This mission was to help people understand the life changing concepts of what it actually means to understand the word irony. But I’m not talking about the meaning of irony today. What I’m talking about today is something deeply ironic. There was another period of my life during which I was on another mission. This mission...

Pragmatism
Someone once called me ‘pragmatic.’ And I responded, “HEY! I don’t know what that means.” He said it meant that I was practical. I thanked him and went on my way. This man was the town drunk. A few days after our conversation, he ‘cleaned up’ his front yard by lighting it on fire. Which brings me to my point: I was recently revisiting what pragmatic meant...
