Halloween!

Halloween is tomorrow and are you ready?

Here’s what I did for Halloween:

My Pumpkin (iPumpkin) of Jobs and Apple!

For the costume, I wore

Or…

So I can be

This dude right here!

If you haven’t gotten a costume yet, I made a list of my top ten last minute costumes (in no particular order):

1. Pain in the butt (stick a huge bandaid on your butt)
2. Wear a sign that says “________ on strike”
3. Tape a quarter on your back and be a quarterback
4. Have a bunch of “Hello my name is” stickers and write different name on each, having an identity crisis
5. Wear black and tape an enlarged stamp on your chest; black mail
6. Have a CD/DVD and a burner, be a CD/DVD burner
7. Wear red horns and other typical devil accessories, or better yet, wear a white shirt and paint a yellow circle to be devilled eggs
8. Attach a buck to each ear and be a buccaneer (buck-a-ear)
9. Dress in a suit and stick a bunch of legal documents to be a lawsuit
10. Cheer for the ceiling and be a ceiling fan

Happy Halloween and Have FUN!

Fun Fact:

Did you know that Halloween was originally Hallowe’en, or All Hallow’s Eve?

Associations

Just something I came to realize.

Why do we suddenly associate computers and operating systems with their inventors and CEOs, while we have no idea who’s the CEO of the car we drive? Or the coffee we drink? Or the pens we write with (not that we use them very often…)?

My opinion is that technology advances really fast, you have to watch the CEO to see what’s going to happen next. You can’t just use it and care nothing about it. Most things in life is just there. There is no point in caring about who is behind all this because it is not going to change, it is not going to get better, it is not going to have similar product that will change your life (hint hint, nudge nudge). Also, it is new and people like new things that are cool for some reason.

However, the newspaper disagrees, it says it is because we are all cyborgs, we adapted to technology so much that we can not live without it, our most private moments are on it, and our most public ones. It is a communication tool, a way to pass time by talking and surfing about weird stuff (like me). But it also said that the Mac was special, it has a more human touch, it really was attractive.

We don’t think about it, yet it is true.

So what do you think?

Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

You have to watch this, it is worth every second of your time. It is (at least in my opinion) the most motivating and inspring speech ever. Period.

Day 1

This is the first official blog post, so bear with me if it isn’t perfect.

Hello! Welcome to my blog. To find out more information about my blog, please go to the “About” tab. This site works by having a books section where I put great books, a quote section where I put my quotes, and “Home”, my blogs. I love reading books, so I decided to share some with you. Another thing I like to do is collect quotes, I will keep them on the quotes page (obviously). If you have a really good one, you can post it in the comments section of my quotes page. I hope you find this blog exciting, and full of fun. Welcome to my journey through life. All posts and pages will be permalinked and are here to stay.

To start of my blogging journey, here are 3 of my favourite art pieces to honour Steve Jobs after he past away. I am soooooooo sad. I honestly am a huge Apple fan, so you can say that he totally changed my life. Jobs or iGenius comes once in a lifetime, you don’t see a genius who was a millionaire at age 25, got fired from the company he founded and still be the most successful person ever. All photos are courtesy of DeviantART and their respective artists. Also, I am officially starting this blog.
