A Man After My Own Heart
[Steve] draws a rectangle. ‘Here’s the new application,’ he says. ‘It’s got one window. You drag your video into the window. Then you click the button that says burn. That’s it. That’s what we’re going to make.’ “
Customer Service
Every morning I wake up and go downstairs to the coffee shop in my building. I order 1 iced coffee and 1 banana. Today, as I was walking away, nomming on my banana I soon realized that the inside of said banana was black, rotten, and inedible. I usually don’t complain about a minor disappointment in food service because it usually means a lot of work for the staff. If say my dish was not to...

String Theory

Getting your private certificate you spent most of your time learning how to fly, straight and level, climbs, descents, turns, landings, etc. These are considered primary skills.

Learning to Fly
