Women and the Law – Magazine – The Atlantic. This is interesting to read. I didn’t realize all of the disadvantages that women have. Glad I’m a guy.

Against the Smartphone Thinness Fetish – Robert Wright – Technology – The Atlantic

 

 

#43 - audrey hepburnAgainst the Smartphone Thinness Fetish – Robert Wright – Technology – The Atlantic. I guess that functionality does win over form after all. I don’t see this any different from how society tells us we should view women. If our women are thin, why not our technology? Is more gained or lost in wanting to be thin? In many ways being thin can work against women such as heavier women surviving surgeries better. Perhaps we need to not apply such broad brushstrokes of want in our lives.

A response to the loss of Steve Jobs

 

English: Steve Jobs shows off the white iPhone...

- StumbleUpon. I have gotten tired of reading tributes to Steve Jobs on the web. It’s great to honor people, but don’t give people more credit that then deserve. This is my response.

We were creative before Steve Jobs, and we will be creative regardless of who comes after. We are not defined by our tools, we define ourselves by our spirit. There are people who are different who have never meet or been influenced by Steve Jobs.

Consider if history had worked out differently. Would we be any different if we were using an Amiga which at the time was superior in capability to the mac? Computers are great, and famous men are inspirational, but it pales by comparison to the human spirit. An old saying that “life finds a way”. It does, we just have to be open to it.
