Happy Birthday, Steve!
So today would have been the 57th birthday of the remarkably wonderful, Steve Jobs. Now, the phrase 'Apple fan girl' has been thrown around the office a few times (thank you, David), so in commemoration of the lovely Mr. Jobs, here are a few things you may not have known about him. Enjoy!
- He was a Buddhist and a vegetarian
- In 2010, he took a salary of just $1
- He took the name Apple for his company because of his admiration of the Beatle's Apple Records
- He experimented with drugs, namely LSD and said of the experience, "One of the two or three most important things I have done in my life"
- He has been romantically linked with both Joan Baez and Diane Keaton
- According to USA Today, he drove his 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 for years without a liscence plate, just a barcode
And on top of all this, he was generally ace and very, very clever.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
