I got chills when he wrote his “reply” and a hush settled over the audience.

I think I want to create a band called “Mullets and Mainframes.”

Stephen Colbert did a tribute to Mr Jobs last night. Classy in only a way that Mr Colbert could do: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/399182/october-06-2011/tribute-to-steve-jobs?xrs=share_copy.

All in all, it boils down to some kind of “enlightened despotism”…

Today’s NYT crossword is a tribute as well, oddly enough.

I’m glad that Brian Lam finally copped to the horrible way he played out the lost iPhone debacle, and that he finally apologized to Steve. But the damage was already done. It was a situation where a blogger, who doesn’t have journalistic credentials and experience behind him, failed to work through a story in a professional way with integrity.

Alternately, Mullets & Mainframes sounds like the sort of role playing game that people living in a Fantasy universe would play. They’d pretend to be us, from the 1980s…

Right, it’s featured here on Boing Boing in the immediately previous post to this one. Perhaps you missed it.

“Mullets & Mainframes” should be a mid-season replacement TV series, set in the fantastic year 1981.

Given the outpouring of nostalgia for Jobs, allow me to recommend Mike Daisey’s clear and level opinion piece in today’s Times, “Steve Jobs, Enemy of Nostalgia”:
