His advice was usually to be independent minded, to not take safe paths or follow ordinary routes, to write your own playbook
This kind of talk drives me crazy. "Know what? To hell with these McDonalds burgers. I'm going to start putting salsa in them. Side of pico. What's that? I'm fired? But I was BEEING MY OWN MAN.

I'm sure he was a complete monster to deal with, but I like him. Is it OK to like him? I'm generally 100% anti-asshole IRL, but Jobs gets me a little inspired and I'm embarrassed about it.

Big part of it may be tied to him saying dropping acid changed his life. I like the ~mystic vibe~ he brought to the tech world. I connect with that. Like 2001 and John Whitney.

there are aspects of steve jobs' personality i relate to. mostly the wearing the same outfit everyday. sometimes i feel like that kind of consistency would give me an extraordinary peace of mind, but i am way too vain to do something like that, which would draw attention to myself.

Saw the movie Jobs yesterday. It's very incompetent. Like that Sylvia Plath biopic with gwyneth paltrow, this movie seemed to consciously avoid dealing with abything interesting about its subject. A real missed opportunity.
Also, people in Singapore seem to be fine with people talking through the entire movie. The theater was packed and nobody even confronted these obnoxious teenagers.
― Treeship, Thursday, 15 August 2013 22:30 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe it was just this specific audience that was so patient.

― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Thursday, 15 August 2013 22:35 (eleven years ago) link
It's close. There was no directorial vision to this thing, it's a highly generic biopic about a guy overcoming obstacles to accomplish blah blah blah. Kutcher does a good impersonation of Steve Jobs' walk though.

Seems a bit weird that they sent the first draft to Dan Kottke and Mike Markkula but didn't talk to Woz until the script was finalised and nothing was going to get changed.
Anyone know if Kottke ever got the stock options he mentions not getting in the Slashdot piece? Was he one of the people Woz gave some of his own options to?
