Thanks for the Ipod, Steve

Well, I'm not usually one to pine over the death of strangers but Jobs' ipod really got me back into music. After decent radio ended, the Ipod was the only way to hear what I wanted and I was just getting into the Clash and all those bootlegs. I had read few books about Jobs and saw the Pirates movie and they were pretty much saying the same thing: he was consumed with himself. I had been reading a few bios of Hitler and it was easy to draw parallels in their lives at least in the realm of upbringing, dumb luck, artistic aspirations, megalomania, cultism and petty genius. Uh, I guess this isn't quite the eulogy I had intended but anyway - thanks for all the cool stuff.

On a sadder note, a story about his biological father:

I can think of three "Pirates" movies, of which this is easily my favorite:

Nice. Then there's that one with Geena Davis that nobody saw.

I'd have to be doing a long stretch in prison before I'd watch this.

Cutthroat Island. It had Matthew Modine and the trailer had Beethoven's 9th.

Angela Lansbury wearing a uniform = HOT

(Not Bea Arthur hot, of course. Nothing is, really.)

She wore a maid's uniform in Gaslight.

I think, that movie took place in France as I recall.

I bet most of the people in that queue already own an iphone 3 that they queued for last time (ditto iphone, iphone 2, ipad etc..)
