As we strolled home from our litter picking exertions we came upon some escaped balloons caught in the wires…

We then encountered some Tiger Aspect people filming something or other…
Passing clouds of inconsequential observations

[wikipop]Steve Jobs[/wikipop] is 56 today. Having started Apple in 1976 here he is talking at the Academy of Achievement in 1982 (pre Apple Macs) a youthful 26 year old:

and somewhat older (50) at the [wikipop]Stanford University[/wikipop]:
Someday I will get around to writing a post about my time working at [wikipop]Tesco[/wikipop] which, I often imagined, was being run by a bunch of 7 year olds. But then you see the candidates on The Apprentice and you realise that these are 7 year olds in adult bodies. They do take themselves, and their vacuous ramblings, so seriously but it is usually little more than bullshit.
So no sniggering at the announcement from the people at Alexon (so young yet had so many jobs!) who are blaming the current cold weather (in winter?) for their lack of success. In the spring they were spouting some positive bullshit but by the summer they were blaming volcanic ash. Bollocks.
A SkepChick posted an interesting piece about the lack of 13th floors but seems to have missed (youngsters eh!) the obvious [wikipop]13th Floor Elevators[/wikipop] link…
…so there they were around 1966.
We enjoy the gradual superstition shifting on Deal or No Deal where lucky numbers and guardian angels etc. seem to be increasingly abandoned… apparently it is all just random.
