I know that I’m venturing dangerously close to Steve Jobs Biography overload, with my last number of blog posts being related to the passing of Steve Jobs and the subsequent publication of his authorized biography… but as I was going through my sources I found the following two PBS documentaries.

Been working my way through the Steve Jobs biography the past week and I’ve been a bit surprised at what some have found to be “new” revelations from the book. Chief TWiT, Leo Laporte, was surprised at how much crying seems to have taken place around and including Steve Jobs. And while crying hasn’t …
I used to think that part of my disfunction as a Christian leader was because I never really had a constructive mentoring relationship with my pastor(s).

Educational Music Video created by Full Sail University student, Peter Binskin, for emdt/Music Theory & Applications (MTA) course. He’s gotten over a thousand hits and a “response” video. Our students do amazing work.
I spent an hour of my weekend watching the Bloomberg TV documentary on Steve Jobs, part of their “Game Changers” series.
