There's nothing more moody than NY weather. These past few weeks, I've suffered the brunt of unexpected rainshowers and surprisingly warm weather. rain, rain go away.
The bio does a pretty decent job showing a fair share of the bad with the good:
Jobs was often manipulating and possessed a dangerous charm in order go get his way.
He was a smelly dirty hippie (he believed his fruit/vegetarian diet took care of hygiene).
He was distant to his past lovers, wife, and children (mostly his daughters).
He took people's ideas and called them his own (even after publicly denouncing them at first).
He was a big crybaby.
Despite all his gigantic flaws, I can't help but to respect the man. While reading the book, I literally find myself getting chills when he's developing a new idea or presenting a theatrical product launch. And what I appreciate the most is that Jobs really knew how to craft artistry in technology. Not only were his products a piece of art (I still remember my first ibook - whatta beaut), but even their packaging & their ads were tasteful with a touch of whimsy. Still one of my favorite ipod commercials:
