That Kind of a Weather

Steve Jobs was explaining on tv why the reception glitch on the new iPhone-4 isn't such a big deal. The glitch itself stems from the the design of the antenna, itself, on the iPhone-4 which is a metal band around the edges of the iPhone-4. Unfortunately nobody told Apple's design department that people actually hold a cellphone by the edges. Brilliant-simo. Just made up that word because that's what people who blog do when they can't seem to find the proper word to apply to a given situation while still reserving the right to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Or as Steve Jobs put it, "I'm not perfect." That explains why the iPhone-4's glitch isn't such a big deal. Imperfect people do not design perfect products. However when Steve Jobs announces publicly that he is not perfect, it's not an admission on the level of Chef Boyardee admitting that they do not fill their cans with perfect noodles. Rather, Jobs' kernel of wisdom assures iPhone 4-ners that the iPhone-4 is the still the next best thing to perfection in an imperfect world that most iPhone 4-ers are inhabitants of. It is a personal transporter .... *my stream of thought just disappeared into thin air. Night.

Hasn't this been just the strangest weather we've been having? We've had clouds passing over and drizzling all day and now there's a huge rainbow. It's pretty though so I'm not complaining.

Cloudia- hello, Cloudia.

Kay- we're also in the middle of a drought, the most dry in 17-years or something. Especially Waimanalo farmers and on the Big Island.

Ummm... and another thing. About Steve Jobs. I don't have any sort of iphone. I just have a rinky dink cellphone. Anyway, we were surprised at what Steve Jobs has done for Apple. We bought a modest amount of Apple stock when it was super low, before Steve Jobs came back. Once he returned the stocks started going really up and up. We sold most of it when we built our addition. We didn't think it would climb higher. Sigh... too bad, because it almost doubled after that. Our other stocks haven't done nearly as well or much, much worse. Ah well... all I can say is, Thank you, Steve Jobs.

Kay- I've never bought or intend to buy an iPhone. And you did what with the Apple stocks? I suppose many people sold their stocks as well. However, if you factor in how much your house addition has appreciated it's probably a gain over retaining the Apple stocks.
