Favorite lines from Today

It is not every day that a couple of lines catch my eye. Today brought out a couple of them so I thought I would mention them here:

1.  Steve Jobs – In his letter to the Apple community, Steve Jobs ends with a classic line:

So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.

Not making light of the situation but glad to see Steve’s open and close stance on what is personal to him.  I do not agree with a lot of the ridicule that Steve or Apple have received regarding how they have not disclosed information about Steve’s health.  My view is until it reaches a point where the CEO duties are not able to be responsibly met, the information should remain personal.  Steve’s line sums up my thoughts on this as well.

2.  Jeff Nolan – late yesterday, Jeff sent out this tweet:

“Dr. Seuss’ Fox in Socks… I cringe when that’s the book request for the night. Seems like it should be someth ing used at Gitmo.”

Anyone who is a parent out there who reads to the child can commiserate. I believe there are several books that I can put on a list that without fail my daughter will ask to read.  I haven’t read Fox in Socks yet but Green Eggs and Ham is certainly up there on my list although lately I’ve been getting Amelia Bedelia’d.

3.  Brad Feld – A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon the “legal” page on his blog.  Here is an excerpt and there is more so do check it out:

…I’m responsible for what I say, and all errors, idiocy, stupid comments, swear words, and humor are my own personal responsibility. These are my own thoughts, generated by me, representing me.

I awarded to Brad via Twitter my first annual “best blog disclaimer ever” award as a result. It is not very often that one can get enjoyment from a disclaimer or terms & conditions.  This one, however, was a nice respite from lawyer speak.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday.
