Nothing like the anticipation of starting a new book!

I totally admit to choosing books by their covers.

Pickpick

From what I understand, this is a very balanced biography of Steve Jobs, unlike some of the others. It certainly doesn't sugarcoat the fact that Jobs could be a real jerk, but it also showed a human side. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That iPhone sitting in your pocket is the exact equivalent of a Cray XMP supercomputer from twenty years ago that used to cost ten million dollars. It's got the same operating system software, the same processing speed, the same data storage, compressed down to a six-hundred-dollar device."

The other day I was reading about Steve Jobs and the blossoming idea of the iPad *on* my iPad, while holding my iPhone in the other hand and wearing an Apple Watch on my wrist. It was surreal.
