Aside from making sparkler art, I spent my holiday with my nose buried in the Steve Jobs biography. What a jerk, but such a prolific one—responsible for Apple, Pixar, and iStuff (you know what I mean, iTunes, iPod, etc). It's a great read though—author Walter Isaacson weaves the electronic advances since the '70s and how Steve Jobs propelled many of them forward with dramatic personal tidbits in such a way that it's a page-turner.

As an '80s baby, it's neat to read about how the computer industry evolved as I grew up and where I sit now, typing on my iMac. Oh, by the way, the "i" in iMac, is because the product is integrated with the internet!

Me in 1982 and Apple's short-lived computer 'Lisa' in 1983. At this time I believe the computer was bigger than me.

Me in 2011 and the iMac at the beginning on 2012. Thankfully I am not the size of this computer!

Any guesses as to what it will look like by 2013?
