Steve Jobs, 1955-2011


And that's really what it is, isn't it?

We're all sitting here, staring at our iPhones in disbelief. Finding comfort in one of the tens of thousands of songs on our iPod. Searching the internet to share in the mourning en masse on our MacBooks.

After we're done here, we'll edit some videos using Final Cut Pro. While we listen to a playlist we made on iTunes. When we get hungry later, we'll use an app on our iPhone to figure out a good place nearby to eat. When we get home, we'll iChat with our parents across the country and tell them what we've been up to. Hell, even one of our most popular videos took place in an Apple Store.

For so many of us who never even met the man, we can't imagine what our lives would have been like without him.

The real brilliance of Steve Jobs's vision is that he believed we all deserved to live the lives of our dreams, and he gave us as many tangible tools as possible to try and do just that. How many of us began vlogging because we were experimenting with our iSights? How many of us became interested in telling stories because of iMovie? How many of us now see the world refracted through Steve Jobs's lens?

We're not the first to post this video, but its message bears repeating, even on days when it isn't almost painfully poignant:


“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Thanks for believing in all of us, Steve. You have to have known that you made a difference.

More Apple Store Craziness




According to the LA Times, this man has already started camping out in front of a London Apple Store to ensure he is first in line whenever the new iPhone comes out. 

Let us take a moment to note that as of this writing, Apple has NOT EVEN ANNOUNCED THAT THERE IS A NEW IPHONE RELEASE, let alone a prospective release date.

And, whatever. We bet this guy doesn't even have a goat.



Don Was is a Super Producer Who Brings Us Superstars




Did you guys see Don Was on American Idol last season as Jimmy Iovine's right-hand man? Don is a super producer who works with superstars like Bonnie Raitt, Elton John and The Rolling Stones, and now he's bringing us an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the recording session for a "Personal Revolution," a song from the legendary Ziggy Marley's latest album, Wild and Free.

We have nothing else to say but that you should STOP DOING WHATEVER ELSE YOU'RE DOING AND WATCH THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW.

Thanks. Now you can go about the rest of your day feeling good about yourself since you've already treated yourself to something awesome. 







Josh Gad to host SNL?



Some intrepid fans have launched an online campaign to get Gigi and Book of Mormon star Josh Gad a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, and we have to say, that sounds like a pretty good idea to us.

The site Brobible says, "Gad's one of the funniest, quick-witted young actors around, and his big frame and mop of curly hair belie his intelligence and comic timing. The ironic part about this campaign to get him to host 'SNL,' in my opinion, is that if he were a cast member on the show, he'd instantly become its biggest star. Think Will Ferrell meets Chris Farley. Seriously, he's that good, and it's apparently his lifelong dream to appear on 'SNL.' Isn't it everyone's?"

Wow.  So LIKE the page, support the campaign, and help Josh Gad live the dream, man.  Uh, we mean, "my mans."




Feels Old Man

Oh, Slacktory.  How did you know that we all feel like cranky old men all the time?  Your new meme, "Feels Old Man: The Advice Meme for Young Old People" is the best repurposing of a Clint Eastwood image since this guy's chest tattoo:

Mark Malkoff: Apple Store Challenge



Mark Malkoff's done it again.

The Apple Store.  We've all been there.  We have iPhones and iPads and iPods and MacBooks and MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros that need purchasing and servicing and updating and repair.  We need software and Genius Bars and One to One help and Workshops about Final Cut Pro.  And sometimes-- let's face it-- we just need to hang out in an air conditioned place with free internet access during a heatwave.

And those Apple Store employees, bless their hearts, never ever reprimand you for hogging that 17-inch MacBook Pro display even though everyone can see that you're just playing Words With Friends.

But what if Darth Vader needed help with his iPhone?  Would an Apple Employee just go about business as usual and ask him for his email?



Well, okay. Fine.  Sure.  Of course Darth Vader has email.  But what if Mark Malkoff ordered a pizza?  Or brought his wife in for a romantic dinner date?  Or what if he brought a GOAT into the store?  What then?



We'll let you watch the video for yourself to see what happens.  But the next time you find yourself killing time in an Apple Store pretending to check your email for 30 minutes but really just playing Angry Birds, maybe tell one of those Apple Store employees, "Thanks for being so cool, man.  May the force be with you."  And he might think you're weird, but he's probably still just gonna let you do your thing. 


Remembering The Big Man, Clarence Clemons



June 18, 2011

The world just lost a piece of its soul tonite. Clarence Clemons has been an inspiration, a hero, a touchstone, and a non-stop deliverer of the big sound, big love, and big joy to me and all of my closest friends. It's hard to think of this world without him.

I rarely cry. But I'm crying tonite. From the first minute we heard him on vinyl - and throughout every night we saw him walk onto that stage - everyone who loved Clarence knew we had the biggest, baddest, best man at our side.

The lifelong thrill of loving Bruce & Clarence & The E Street Band might be what it feels like to be addicted to comics and Superheroes. We're dedicated to getting together with people of like-minds and like-souls -- all of us looking up to the image of the friendships we want - experiencing the ultimate teamwork we know is possible - and the hardest part about tonite is figuring out how to handle the loss of the image of permanence we felt every time that man took the stage.

I have been Clarence's fan and friend for almost 40 years. His death is a tremendous loss to all of my best friends and to everyone who loves his sound and his gracious soul. Let's send love to Clarence, to his big family and friends, and to Bruce and the entire E Street Family.
