The Bicentennial!

This is the 200th Post on Jimmy’s Daily Planet!

It’s a bit surreal to be writing my 200th blog post. To be more precise, it was never on my horizon to even think this far into the future when I first started Jimmy’s Daily Planet. I knew what I wanted this website to be in the beginning and it’s been gradually evolving with each new post. I for one am truly excited to see where it continues to go from here!

Let’s relive a classic from 2012.

B-e-a-utiful!

Happy Monday!

Last Friday, the movie “Jobs” premiered to the public. Ashton Kutcher, who is an aspiring tech savant of sorts, stars as the hippie turned global business icon Steve Jobs. Their looks and mannerisms are crazy similar. The conversation surrounding the driven co-founder and innovator of Apple has been reignited.

If there is one quality that continues to attract people of various backgrounds to the life and career of Jobs, it may be his inspirational aura that lives on posthumously. Below is just a snippet, but grandiose nonetheless. It’s the conclusion of his 2005 Commencement Address at Stanford University.

Two words to describe it: insanely great!
