This NY Times article, The Man Who Inspired Jobs, says a lot about who Steve Jobs was. What I found interesting is that both Jobs and Land both mixed art and science together with the final bit being business, how to make money off of your ideas. Both were autodidacts and pursued their dreams and talents to their ends.
I was on my way home from a local high school curriculum meeting discussing how the high school can best prepare kids for the working world. What would we expect from them, what should they know? I left the meeting after discussing the need to teach kids entrepreneurship, the business of their craft, on par with teaching them their craft, what they love to do and have the talent to do. As I left the meeting I called my wife to let her know that I was on my way to meet her and when I asked her how she was doing, she said, “I sad.” Or more appropriate, iSad.
Hearing her sadness in her voice I asked, “Why are you sad, Sweetie?” Then she said, “Steve Jobs had died!”
Here’s where I’ll be from 10AM – 3 PM selling old copies of my book and talking MacStartup with people.
Stop on by, behind the Wendy’s.

When I was looking at the next “Monday Motivations for MacStartups” I was looking for another company to profile, but then I saw this blog site and thought, “You know, we’re all motivated by our spaces and how we set up our work and living spaces and the way we set them up tells us how we like to live and work.” If we can’t personalize, we become homogenized, and Macs are not about homogenization at all!!
So, we Mac fan boys and girls love working with our Macs, but have you ever thought of how your Mac looks in your office compared with others? Here’s 60 pictures of other Mac fans and their set ups.
THREE DAYS ONLY!! Sept 5-7
Who am I? I’m Kevin Cullis and I’m a business geek, that’s what I love to do, blend strategies, tactics and knowledge of both business and Macs together. I also love Apple technologies and have used them since 1985, when I bought my first Mac 512ke. Today I use a MacBook Pro. My whole family is on Macs, except my brother, who is the last Mac holdout, but then he’s a System Administrator on UNIX.
What do I have? I’ve written a book taking my years of selling computers to businesses and helping businesses get more done with their computer and put all of it into my first book, How to Start a Business: Mac Version (New and Improved content and updated for Mac OS X Lion)
Why do you need this? Can you answer “Yes” to any of these facts, are you:
As an startup entrepreneur you always look to keep low or no costs to prolong using your capital. During a recent teleseminar I was introduced to Camtasia software. It is billed as the one stop shop for screen capturing and recording your audio all in the same application. But as I said above, entrepreneurs are always looking to save money, and time, and if you can, both money and time. So what is an entrepreneur to do without spending any money?
Well, here’s my answer.
Here’s a great link to some analysis of the PC industry and where Apple is in this mix. Read Apple Will Nudge Prices Down in 2012: PC Market Will Collapse and see if you think they’re right.
What say you?
