Farewell Mr. Jobs

Computers are huge part of my life today. When I was young I could not imagine how ingrained computing would be in all our lives on the daily basis that it is. I remember tapping away at the computer in the public library 'cutting code' for a random number generator that mimicked the roll of a dice following example code in a magazine. I think the magazine was called 'Basic', I could be wrong.

Today I am a Software Developer and a video editor by hobby. I've got my hands on a computer keyboard sometimes the majority of the day. It is amazing how exponential computing has grown in such a relatively short amount of time. Equally amazing is how personalized these devices has become in our lives and how embraced they are. Men like Steve Jobs are (were) responsible for the computing revolution. The Apple corporation will not fail or go under. I cannot help but think Steve Jobs instilled enough of his vision through his leadership into the company for that to happen.

17 to 48 Husker loss to Wisconsin Badgers - yet I don't care.

Last night was a Husker-Stinger to say the least. I stopped caring about and watching Husker games years ago without even trying. I remember getting gas and overhearing two guys talk about getting back home to 'watch the game' (a Nebraska Cornhusker football game) on TV. The game was starting within an hour. It was a Saturday and late afternoon and I thought to myself that I might go home and watch it too, maybe invite the rest of my family to do the same and maybe order a pizza and make a night of it. That was the last thought I had about the game for the rest of the evening. I totally forgot to remember to tune into the broadcast once I got home and have watched one Husker game since that Saturday some 5 years ago.

I have not lost my love for the state of Nebraska. One day I realized this team of 18 to 22 year old young men had no hold over me. There are very few 18 to 22 year olds I care to be in the company of let alone worship if I may use such a strong word.

To use other slang; I'm not hatin', I'm just sayin'.
