Retiring Jobs’ Number

Steve Jobs' Turtleneck

Rob Cottingham (via Cameron Moll):

The debate will rage for a long time over what piece of technology best encapsulates Steve Jobs’ influence on our world: The iPhone? iPod? iMac? iPad? OS X and Aqua? But I’m going to argue for something a lot more low-tech: the turtleneck.

That, to me, captures the excitement Jobs both conveyed and sparked in others over his vision. It wasn’t just another gadget or a feature or an online service; it was his ability to say, ‘This can help you change things.’

Glenn Beck illustrated by Daniel Clowes (via Andy Kelly): “I was asked by the NYT to draw Glenn Beck for the cover of the Sunday magazine — apparently, he wasn’t going to sit down for a photo-shoot with the Times and so they had to hire an illustrator for their big profile. … I turned in the illustration on a Monday and was told that Beck had in fact agreed to come in and sit for a photo over the weekend, so they couldn’t use my illustration. Thanks for telling me. The back-and-white photo they used was perhaps a bit more complimentary to Mr. Beck, so I’d say he made a good call.”

Back to Work (Episode 1)

  • Merlin Mann: To tell you the truth Dan, yeah, I mean I like doing podcast stuff, but there’s a reason I stopped doing the Merlin Show, and there’s a reason— I mean it’s hard. For me. To do.
  • Merlin Mann: And I like the stuff that you do so much. And I really like— oh, god, who’s that guy with the weird hair? Is it Grubby? What’s his name … Grubber?
  • Dan Benjamin: John Gruber.
  • Merlin Mann: The guy— what’s his name?
  • Dan Benjamin: John Gruber.
  • Merlin Mann: I’m not familiar with his work. But he seems like a really mean guy and a bit of an alcoholic.
  • Dan Benjamin: *laughing*
  • Merlin Mann: —and you seem to keep him on an even keel. He doesn’t really talk like that. When you’re with him, he sounds more like some kind of a puppet that somebody dropped.
  • Merlin Mann: And you keep him sounding like somebody who’s not out of his mind, and I need you to do that for me.
