Apple dreams of campuses 1983 - 2017

Hey there! Did you know Steve Jobs wanted to build an awesome Apple campus waaaay before Apple Park? Like decades before? In 1983? I wrote about that today in my neurotic episodic memoir over here: scottknaster.substack.com/p/apple-drea...

Me too. I know I’m enjoying a TV show if I’m thinking about it and listening to the podcast after (I am), and in the case of a Vince Gilligan show, marveling at how they got the big scenes on film.

In Gilligan we trust.

50 posts! I'm over here telling stories about my decades working at Apple, Google, et al., and other nerdy adventures on Earth. I think of it as an episodic chaotic memoir. Only a few hundred more posts and then I think I'll be done. scottknaster.substack.com/p/50-posts

Sam Altman and Jony Ive should make Jack Kirby’s Mother Box.

I hope Altman and Ive realize they’re making a Mother Box.

🎡 Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

is my go-to audition song, if not necessarily how I feel all the time.

We need some stinking (Apple) badges! 1983

I wrote about the time I was in an Apple ad that never ran. Because I don't know anything about tariffs. scottknaster.substack.com/p/we-need-so...
