  • Mac fan? Do you find Steve Jobs even moderately interesting? Try this 1994 interview on RollingStone. His technical prophecies, some of which were often laughed at, are quite accurate. Example: the mouse. “I visited Xerox PARC in 1979, when I was at Apple. That visit’s been written about — it was a very important visit. I remember being shown their rudimentary graphical-user interface. It was incomplete, some of it wasn’t even right, but the germ of the idea was there. And within 10 minutes, it was so obvious that every computer would work this way someday. You knew it with every bone in your body. Now, you could argue about the number of years it would take, you could argue about who the winners and losers in terms of companies in the industry might be, but I don’t think rational people could argue that every computer would work this way someday.”

  • TacoMeatGate continues, now with exotic animals involved. Lion taco? Would you like Hot, Mild, or Fire?

  • Baby Centers have evolved to egregiousness. The Go-Pod takes it back to basics. I kid you not; we had one of those saucer/activity centers that remotely fired missiles at an abandoned shack in New Mexico.

    • About radamdavidson

    When I'm not blogging, I'm hanging out with my family, pastoring a church, or listening to vinyl. I think and write about Jesus, music, communication, organizational leadership, family whatnot, and cultural artifacts from the 1980's -- mostly vintage boomboxes. You can read my blog at www.radamdavidson.com, watch [RadCast], a daily 3 minute video devotional, or find me on socials (@radamdavidson). I also help Pastors in their preaching and public speaking (www.CoachMyPreaching.com).
