How many logo design “options” should you show?
The subject of “logo options” came up for me recently in the form of the question: “how many logo options should I show my client?” My answer was that I put my very best effort into one logo design. If a client doesn’t like it, they can pay me for another logo design option or find another designer to work with.

With just a little bit of searching about this movie, I saw quite a few sites pointing to the full length HD movie online.

One of the many versions of the movie poster is below.

Steve Jobs – Official movie trailer
The movie itself looks good, but Michael Fassbender just doesn’t fit. I don’t care how good he is as an actor, he doesn’t look anything like Steve Jobs. And that would be ok were it not for the fact that Jobs only passed away a few years ago. He’s too fresh in our mind.

Meetings the Steve Jobs way
“I don’t think we need you in this meeting, Lorrie. Thanks,” he said.

Possibly the most important documents in Apple’s corporate history
“For $13,000 — $5,200 up front, and $7,800 on delivery, and no additional royalties — Shepardson Microsystems would build Apple’s first DOS. For its money, Apple would get a file manager, an interface for integer BASIC and Applesoft BASIC, and utilities that would allow disk backup, disk recovery, and file copying.”
It’s always fun to look back on computing history.
