Over the holidays I was given an opportunity to test a new iPhone 5 case called Mummy from Loop. The quick “readers digest” version is: I really like this case and use it as my daily case. You can find all the 411 at Loops website.
Hope you enjoy this review… be easy on me as this is the first one I have done. Please share your comments, good and bad
When will it end? Companies sending out product after product, making a small tweak and the releasing a new version. Division after division of the same crap!! In this day and age of HUGE companies collapsing under their own weight, when will they learn? Why don’t they focus on their core products?
How many different models of Dell laptops are there? Sony, HP? Hundreds! Before the collapse of GM, how many different divisions did they have? They ditched Oldsmobile, Pontiac, SAAB, Hummer, and Saturn to focus on their core. Apple in the early 1990’s up the return of Steve Jobs had many different lines, PowerMac, Performa with numbers like the 8150, 7100, 6105 etc. Once Steve came back he put his foot down and nixed all that. Do you know how many laptop lines Apple has now? Apple has 2, MacBook, Air and MacBook Pro. The largest company in the world, at last look, really only has 7 major product lines, iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini, Macbook, iMac, Mac Pro and iPod. That’s it. Well there is the Apple TV also, does that count?
What does this type of efficiency get them? Better distribution, saved support calls to name a few. Maybe we should take a look internally and see if we are focusing on the core.
The core being family. Are you focusing on what’s important? Think about it!
Trying out my iPhone 4S for today’s Tommylog. lets see how this goes. I broke the tripod for my Kodak camaera, so while I get a new one, we shall do this…
Happy 2012 to all my friends and family! I’m so excited that I have you in my life. Today I want to talk about saying thank you. Short and sweet, we need to say thank you more often.
HUGE win for Applebees. Service was really poor! Meal took well over 45 min to come out of the kitchen. No refills on drinks and poor communication from the server. Manager rocked and comp’d our meal for the 7 of us. Totally unexpected! This one action GUARANTEED we will be back!
Today I’m in Oshkosh and recording on my iPhone. I have been listening to Steve Jobs book called iCon and the topic of learning from mistakes has come up. How would society be if we took a page from this book and actually learned from our mistakes.

NOTE: Sorry about the video quality. I wonder if my Zi8 is dying.
This past week we lost one of the greatest and most brilliant minds in my time and possibly ever. My father called and likened Steve Jobs to the mind of Albert Einstein, WOW now that’s saying a lot. To think Steve stared Apple in his home garage, was kicked out, brought back when the company was on the verge of death and today, Apple is one of the largest companies in world with stock selling right around $400.00. Stunning. So many tech items that we take for granted were made commonplace by Mr. Jobs and the team at Apple! GUI, WIFI, mouse, USB, iPod, iPad, iPhone and so many many more. What a life and what a legacy he leaves behind.
Now for the real question. What life and what legacy will we leave behind? Will we leave this world better then it was when we got here? That’s the true test of Steve and the life he left. He left this world so much better then it was when he got here. He did not accept the norm. He shot for perfection and it showed!
