Introduction Entry: The Why and the Hopefully How

One of the key questions Steve Jobs took as a base line to his well orchestrated 1997 introduction of the Think Different commercial and everything that meant to Apple as a company and as the identity of the once garage company he made was: "where do we fit in this world?". It can sometimes be a scary or philosophically challenging question... but even further to ask that question to a company is truly a defiance . This Blog is an extremely personal and therefore biased compendium of opinion about Apple, it's late founder Steve Jobs and it's products. My plan is to try and keep it in the margins of that theme because: 
1. I am an Apple freak and hope to be one the rest of my life. So through this i hope to become a bigger and better (more knowledgeable) Apple freak.
2. Steve Jobs is my life hero (yes I wrote that plain and straight forward).
3. I love Apple and I enjoy writing so hopefully the combination will reach someone and/or help me express my opinion more intelligibly in my crazy dream to someday actually become a writer (not sure for whom or about what, don't ask don't tell).
Basically I will be writing once a month (however short or long) about either Apple being amazing, Steve Jobs being amazing, my crazy writing dream or all of them together. So here we go:

PS. and warning: my addiction to music (percussionist for more than 10 years) might come through now and again.



Former Vice President of the United States of America Al Gore spoke at the Memorial Event of Apple for Steve Jobs and made a brilliant liaison between technology made by Apple and love. Who in the world would be crazy enough to compare and/or marry technology with beauty, love? ... Wait I know... Steve Jobs was that kind of crazy person! He truly believed that technology for the sake of technology was not the reason Apple had developed into Windows or Microsoft or IBM 's main competitor. The reason was that technology married with liberal arts and beauty could go beyond a "company that makes boxes so that people can get their work done"... And so it did. It created a group of consumers, customers, apple lovers, apple freaks, or whatever you may want to call us (that was a smooth way to include myself). These people don't see their technology as a box that helps us get our jobs done; it's not an iPod, it's my device which manages emotions through music; it's not an iPhone, it's a device reflecting my personality and personal life; it's not an iPad, it's a personal content empathic device; it's not a Mac, it's my life hub; and finally it's not a watch, it's a life intensity expansion device (yet to be proven... Sorry don't have it yet)

These are the premises basic to my life and my blog; to my love and my passion. This is supposed to be the result of the search to find the professional on knowledge about something i'm passionate about life career (completely different to job). I hope to become someone on this world whose opinion matters greatly to whatever extent is necessary to be happy or accomplished (sorry about the personal summary).
It all starts with and ends with this quote from the famous apple commercial: this is what i believe in through technology, music, passion, love and the universe.

"it's people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world... Are the ones who do."

Here's the Ad with Jobs as the narrating voice:

Let the tech year unfold...

The new Apple event was announced a couple of days back. And my last tech-episode on the podcast got me thinking about this year and the current "trends" in tech. I believe that Apple has one of the biggest challenges you could ever hear in front of them: adapt to survive WHILE BEING ON TOP. Steve Jobs was an amazing underdog, a creative mastermind that rose to the top of the tech community at his time and shot Apple like a rocket to the summit of the world as one of the most influential and prosperous companies ever... However, that IS NOT the company that Tim Cook has had to deal with. Apple is now working in saturated laptop and smartphone markets and is trying to maintain its innovation and creativity. People think it is easy to stay on top... Amazon has had to get all kinds of creative by entering product line, new services offers and buying pieces of the market they compete in as they did with Whole Foods. Facebook is saved by the quality of companies like In

What does Captain Marvel MEAN to the MCU?

So, here's the deal. I did a podcast entry about captain marvel and my thoughts on the movie and how unimpressed I was about some things and how glad and proud other parts of the movie made me. And that’s when it came to me: the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel was not the best movie, it was a necessary one. Clearly, the end of an era approaches quickly as April is almost here with Endgame. Do you think for a minute that Kevin Feige is done with his plan for the MCU? Do you think that they introduced the world to such great successful Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy AND Dr. Strange just because? Well if you do, you have something else coming your way… And that is the only thing I fear in the MCU. You see, the success story of Marvel has been with a great formula and an expansive universe that has great comedy, range and plot; that same amazing formula has been leading up this very important and climatic movie call

Apple's Endgame

So, here we are. Apple announced hardware via internet and called everyone in for services… Was the latter part of the presentation awkward? Yes. Could it have been planned in a more effective way? Probably. However, we got what we got and we must understand that Apple does not act without a plan. Here is my analysis of the true importance behind the event this past Monday: The Mac, the iPod, the MacBook Air, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch these are all attempts at products to drive the business. Some way more successful than others, they all have made what Apple is and will continue to be today. You see, there is a commonality amongst those products… They are not services. And THAT is exactly what Apple told the world on Monday: services are the future. Does this mean that it is THE END for iPhone, Apple Watch, etc. etc.? HELL NO! It means that the market is the market! And the iPhone is stagnating and decreasing in sales, the Mac, iPad and even Apple Watch cannot sus
