“What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.”

Steve Jobs, you made the world a better place. RIP

Steve was an forward thinker and a business leader who believed in what he was doing. He not only knew ‘this product’ would change the world, but he knew he was going to be the one to build it. That sounds elementary, but how many times did we have ideas we didnt follow up with. I have a short list of them. It takes not only the ability to dream and see what it is that will change the world, but then to have the balls to be that guy and go out and do it. I will always look up to Steve Jobs.

Great speach. The man was a great speaker.

Guilt and the US Postal Service

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:09:51 -0500

wow - US Postal Service looks to cut 120,000 workers & benefits. I feel a little guilty as for the past two decades I have been pushing for email to replace standard postal mail. I have formed a very profitable business off electronic communication. I wonder if this is how the early car dealerships felt when the horse and buggy industry folded?

“NASA space shuttle Atlantis blasts off for the last time. This ends the NASA space shuttle program. I personally am not a big ‘space’ guy. Not until we have aliens and laser blasters. However, knowing that the US bank bailout exceeded the half-century lifetime budget of NASA, makes me appreciate them a little more and approve of the people who make decisions on what gets funded in this country a little less.”
