Some playful banter earlier this evening…
Bobby Shriver co-founded (RED) with Bono and is a walking showcase for their products. He’s also brother-in-law to our Governor.

At Thanksgiving this year my roommate started off his prayer with "Thank you Steve Jobs for providing us all that is good."
Next time you see him give him thanks from our household.
I mean, we thank him in the capitalist sense already. Four people, eight of his computers… but we also want him to know we think he is a pretty cool guy with great taste.

Perhaps a Garanimals-for-Grownups startup could be DFJ’s next Interwoven?!

Christ, were those Shrivers all chiseled from the same block of granite, or what?
And, Jobs, that scarf belies your claim.

This is a very nice photo and a souvenir.
I like your tie a lot. For a favourite pastime, when I was about 14, I designed in my imagination a traditional masculine bedroom wallpaper that had small white elephants on a deep wine red background. There were no lines and the elephants were a little more spaced but it looked similar to your tie. Cool!

Uh oh. You’ve hit Valleywag with this one.
"Steve Jurvetson, the spotlight-hungry, Nazi-missile-loving venture capitalist."

Heh, nice.
The gratuitous slander signals they are still bitter (…ever since I caught their editor purposely editing photos so he could fabricate a story, which he then pulled down from the site).
From flickrstats, I notice that the traffic to this page came not from Valleywag, but from their source, Megan McCarthy, who just quit Valleywag to join WIRED.

Hi – your photo has been featured in the Flickr Calendr 2007 slideshow.

I just heard some interesting tidbits from an ex-Nokia exec:
Nokia makes 1.1 million cell phones every day, with no inventory and negative working capital (they collect two days before paying suppliers).They also have the majority of the smart phones out there, but people are not using the functionality.
Apple has achieved what Nokia has been trying to do for years… Amazingly, in Europe, if you exclude traditional SMS and MMS, the iPhone already represents 80% of all data services traffic!
It reminds me of the Mac vs. DOS in the early years…. The graphical UI makes it easier to discover and explore new applications.

This interesting article goes nicely with the photo for those who did not read it. We were in the anti-Jobs distortion zone when it came to buying Next workstations.
