Weekly Quote: Reflecting on Time With Steve Jobs

This week’s quote, shared by Laurene Powell Jobs in the introduction of Make Something Wonderful, a new curated collection from The Steve Jobs Archive featuring speeches, emails, interviews, and personal reflections from the visionary co-founder of Apple.


The quote continues:

He was compelled by the notion of being part of the arc of human existence, animated by the thought that he — or that any of us — might elevate or expedite human progress.

I believe Steve helped change how many of us engage each other and the world around us. He reminds us, both through his reflections in this book and his actions during his life, that our time here is brief, and we should shine as brightly as possible.

Steve Jobs on How to Focus

I found this on 512 Pixels, where Stephen Hackett wrote about the 25th anniversary of Apple’s decision to kill the Newton. If you aren’t reading Stephen’s blog and are interested in tech history, you are missing out.

Is anyone else curious just what The San Jose Mercury wrote that had Steve so fired up?

Ted Lasso Returns to Apple TV+ on March 15th

I'm excited for the third season of Ted Lasso premiering on March 15th. There have been conflicting reports that this will be the final season. However, there's no mention of that on the Youtube page or in Apple's press release announcing the new season. British GQ has a rundown of the new season, including what those involved in the production say about the future (spoiler alert, no one knows for sure).

One of the aspects of British TV production that I've always enjoyed is the comfort with which they sometimes take lengthy breaks between series and use one-off specials to move the story forward. While it's fun to speculate if the show will continue and in what form that might take, I'm thrilled that one of my favorite shows is returning, and I hope the creative team does what serves the story best.
