An inspirational and prophetic video of a younger Steve Jobs closing keynote at Apple’s WWDC conference circa 1997. So many good quotes, but here’s a particularly relevant one and a HUGE part of Apple’s current success (and the failure of so many others): “You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology.”
Jobs talks extensively about the concept of the cloud and things we now take for granted as obvious, but think about where we were in tech in 1997. The stuff he was saying was truly revolutionary, and much of it has come to pass (in part thanks to Steve Jobs himself).

Sorry if I jacked this link from another Tumblr user, it sat on my desktop for days until I had time to listen and I don’t remember where I came across it.

Made this from scratch German Chocolate Cake with dark chocolate buttercream frosting around the sides tonight for a friends wedding after party.

And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind.
And now all your love is wasted,
And then who the hell was I?
And I’m breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lines.
About me
Sunshine state-o-mind, kind of girl :)Serious, smart and silly - all rolled into one. And I finally, at some point, learned how to balance that!
Books, movies, art of all sorts, interesting DIY crafts (last one was homemade outdoor lanterns for the trees - mason jars, sand, craft wire, clippers, candles, WINE and fun!) not a lot of tv, a few that I would endorse AND a few guilty pleasures that I will totally admit too. I dig quiet nights, sitting at the picnic table in the backyard drinking wine, or dollar tacos and pale ales at the neighborhood bar.
Love what I do for a 'living". Fulfilled, lots, daily. If I wasn't doing what I'm doing I think I'd be a chef. For sure :)
Cooking/Baking is like working a complex puzzle with a timer.

Happy life - awesome hubs, crazy dog, fat kitties, kicking it in a killer 3 story sorta-victorian, with a Secret Garden, in Ghent....
Good stuff.
XO.
