Steve Jobs – Three Stories

Posted by John Minnihan - 05/02/08 at 05:02:03 pm

I came across this video when Jon Gruber posted something he’d read about giving a presentation, and how that differed from giving a speech.  The post he linked to itself contained a link to this video, which I found incredibly interesting.

 

Steve is not terribly entertaining here, but it is clear he’s being incredibly honest. And it has nothing to do with Apple, really. Just Steve reading some notes, giving a speech.

I’m supporting Obama

Posted by John Minnihan - 02/02/08 at 02:02:25 pm

I really hope he gets the nomination.  As I live in Denver, I’m going to try to get involved in the convention. 

I was IM’ing with a close friend today when he asked me who I supported for President.  I replied ‘Obama’.  Turns out he does do, and he immediately turned me on to this video.  When I watched it, I got goose-bumps.   This guy – when I hear him speak in a context like this – simply blows me away.  I can’t recall ever having that reaction to any living politician.

Ever.

EDIT. The video is at dipdive.com, but I’m simply embedding it here.  It looks like that is OK.
