Favorite Steve Jobs Quote


Steve Jobs just stepped down as CEO of Apple Inc yesterday, and the blogosphere is incessantly going on about his past failures, successes, stories, and speeches. From my readings, I found this quote, very philosophical...

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
—Stanford Commencement Speech, 2005

Nolan Confirms Inception Game

Check it check it...Chris Nolan, the man behind Inception and the most recent Batman movies just confirmed that a game will be developed based on his summer hit Inception. I found that movie to be genius and I'm truly looking forward to the game. Although the development of the game is not currently on Nolan's plate, it will be as soon as he finishes with 'The Dark Knight Rises', the third and final part in his Batman trilogy, sometime in the summer of 2012. Lets hope we don't have to wait too long for the game to come out.

Movie Mania - Nolan confirms Batman 3

This is awesome news for all you Batman fans, Christopher Nolan sat down with the LA Times and revealed the name of his newest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. He said there will be no Riddler or Mr. Freeze. Also, the movie will not be shot in 3D, but rather in IMAX.

Looking forward to this, its supposed to be released sometime in the summer of 2012 (before the world ends, yesss).

Food Food Food - Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict - simplyrecipes.com
Aright so this dish is a little complex, but i'm telling you it is worth every ounce of energy that you put into it. You always hear of Eggs Benedict in television and movies, but I never ever happened to see that dish in real life, not even on a menu.

Anyways, one day I decided to make Eggs Benedict because I had nothing better to do. Went online, found this recipe, checked to see I had everything in the kitchen and then began to get to work.

I must tell you I was a little flustered trying to get the english muffins to toast properly, the bacon to cook perfectly, and the eggs to poach precisely. I even had a cup of India tea being brewed on one stove. It was a hectic morning but the end result was just to die for. Hot buttered toasted english muffins, crispy bacon, the perfect poached egg, and a lovely drizzle of Hollandaise...you can't go wrong with this. Perfect for a surprise breakfast in bed, whatever the occasion.

Tech Check - Want to Up Those Math SAT Scores? Try Electricity

How many of us need help with math? You either get it or you don't. There is no half and half.

Researchers at Oxford University gave participants a one milliamp electrical stimulus across the parietal lobe for 20 minuts each day. It feels nothing more than a tingle, but participants found their performance level had significantly improved in a battery of tests. After 6 months, the brain boost still held.

That's pretty amazing if you ask me. I don't mind having my parietal lobe zapped for 20 minutes a day if it'll make me smarter. Hope it comes to a Best Buy nearby...

Sports - Kobe says he'll play for U.S. in 2012 if wanted

Kobe Bryant, aka The Black Mamba, was speaking with Coach K on his Sirius satellite radio show on tuesday when he was asked about the Olympics in London 2012. Kobe had this to say:

"You guys want me there, I am there and I'm ready to defend," Bryant said. "And then when you guys need me to put some points on the board, I'll do that, too."

As we all know, It was Coach K who told Kobe during the Gold medal game against Spain in Beijing 2008 to release the 'Black Mamba' and that is exactly what Kobe did. With a little over 8 minutes remaining, Kobe finally unleashed the killer instincts within and helped the United States secure Gold. His four-point play really shut the crowd up.

Im glad Kobe will reprise his role in London 2012. We need his veteran presence to guide the young asses such as LeBron, D-Wade and Carmelo. We also need his defensive tenacity to help lock down our opponents.
