Steve Jobs

Articles about a controversial and accomplished person. Just some articles about a controversial and accomplished person: aka one of the most famous people (and more complex people) in the world. I got to meet him a few times. I tend to the think the stories about either aspect (assholishness, charm) are a bit overstated. He was a human, with flaws and accomplishments. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-02-01

🗒️ Note:

I met him a few times, was in a couple meeting with him. I know he knew me by site. And I know he knew me by name. But I'm not sure if he knew both. I wrote articles for Tech Magazines, and sometimes folks would send me something, "Steve read that, and liked that article", sort of stuff. Then we'd be in meetings (in my day-time / non-writing role), or see him on campus, and I would see recognition that he knew me from other meetings or events (sometimes a nod), but he also knew by site/memory that I wasn't someone he had to sell anything. (I wasn't important enough to approach). I was never sure if he knew that I was the same person (writing me, and engineering me).

Envy up
There's many that are victims to what I call the “Envy Up” phenomenon. You can either envy people that are richer and have more things, or envy people that have less "things" but a richer life or life experiences (envy down: in economic status).

History of this site
This is the history of how this website evolved -- from simple origins in hand-coded HTML in 1995, to my own content managers, to workpress and now Wikipedia's engine. As well as how this went from a MacAdvocacy page, to the jumble of articles and politics that it had become.

Jobs (2013)

Hollywood has this attitude that fiction is more interesting than real life. It is more interesting to people that don't care about the truth as much as they care about shallow entertainment and becoming more misinformed about a topic or person. I'm not their audience, and this movie wasn't made for me. Walter Isaacson's book was pretty good, but flawed. This movie omitted the former and exaggerated the latter.

Steve Jobs (2015)

A fictionalized drama-mentory retelling of Steve Jobs life, by an ultra-Liberal director (Aaron Sorkin). Reviewers preferred it more than audiences +13% (86/73). While the dialog and story is the best of the rash of Steve Jobs pseudo-biographies, this one captured the spirit of many things better, while getting too many actual facts wrong. It would have been great, if only they were fictional characters.
