International artist Jeanne-Claude, one-half of the audaciously creative team that introduced Sonoma County to the world in 1976 by stretching a billowing curtain from Cotati to the sea, died Wednesday in New York City.
Jeanne-Claude, who did the driving and knocked on the doors when she and her husband, Christo, pitched their vision of ?Running Fence? to western Sonoma-Marin ranchers, was 74.
She died in a New York hospital from complications of a ruptured brain aneurysm possibly brought on by a recent fall. Christo ? for years the artists referred to themselves by first names only and signed all their works ?Christo and Jeanne-Claude? ? said through a spokesman that he will honor a mutual vow made long ago and will continue to create art.
Remembering Jeanne-Claude
He and Jeanne-Claude delighted in designing, promoting, erecting and then dismantling ambitious, controversial, grand-scale outdoor artworks around the world. They used 1.089 million yards of orange-yellow fabric for ?The Gates? in Central Park in 2005, planted blue umbrellas through a 12-mile valley in Japan and wrapped the Reichstag in Berlin.
Recently the pair worked on preparations for ?Over The River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado,? an endeavor that seeks to string 5.9 miles of luminous fabric above the river. They also were refining plans for ?The Mastaba,? a pyramid-like structure of 410,000 brightly colored oil barrels stacked horizontally and rising 492 feet high and 984 feet wide.
Jeanne-Claude played a major role in most of the projects, and certainly in Running Fence.
?She was at least one-half of the team,? Press Democrat columnist Gaye LeBaron said Thursday. LeBaron recalled that when the artists chose western Sonoma and Marin for the project in the early 1970s and then came to the region to sell the idea, it was Jeanne-Claude ?who waded in.?
She was the one who approached the ranchers and persuaded them to allow the curtain to cross their property. ?She just charmed them, absolutely charmed them,? LeBaron said.
Jeanne-Claude once told LeBaron that she and Christo erected Running Fence in the summer of 1976 because their vision did not include green hills.
?We wanted the brown hills,? Jeanne-Claude said. ?We wanted the fabric to be like a white dress on a sun-tanned girl.?

Album Rating: 4.0also this band is awesome live
Pretty sure you mentioned that already but that doesn't detract how right you are. The vocalist crushed a beer can into
his head and sprayed blood all over the crowd.
that's normal canadian behavior.
is spraying blood all over the crowd in everyones best interest? i mean, i dont know about you, but i dont wanna go to a fucked up show hiv negative ...and leave hiv positive
don't go to a show hiv negative then.
Album Rating: 4.0that's normal canadian behavior.
don't go to a show hiv negative then.
Best comments ever. Period.
Album Rating: 4.0During their performance of their song "Baiting The Public", the majority of the audience were moshing and causing damage to the set (also visible was a cut from lead singer Damien's forehead), resulting in a sum of $2000 in damages. This performance sparked controversy and resulted in MTV Canada banning moshing from future MTV Live performances.
On October 9, 2008 the band returned to MTV Live, this time performing in the men's washroom. Once again, the band (and their fans) caused a large amount of damage, destroying the ceiling, spray painting walls and knocking over amps and a motorcycle which was brought into the washroom as a prop. Fans, who were told beforehand to stay out of the washroom and to watch from outside the door, rushed the doors and joined in the destruction the band had already started. The band was supposed to play three songs, but were stopped after the first song as MTV was not aware of the destruction the band had planned and were concerned about the safety of the band, audience and crew. On October 10 Abraham blogged about the performance on the MTV Live website, saying the bathroom performance was fucking out of control terrifying.
I knew I read that somewhere.
Album Rating: 3.5This review is bullshit. It is so much better than a 2. GET REAL
i know, it's almost like music is completely subjective or something COME ON
Album Rating: 4.5i don't see what you're saying here about taking "musical risks", this album really isn't that unconventional. the guitar hooks are very catchy, the vocals are powerful, and the songs themselves are simple three chord punk tunes. nothing that out of the ordinary, but it come together amazingly well
Album Rating: 4.5this is such a good album, idk why the fuck it gets so much hate
it was actually pretty highly acclaimed. just not nearly as much as their new one.
Album Rating: 4.0Album slays
Album Rating: 4.0Seeing them Saturday! So stoked!!!
Gonna be one superbig party pit during Black Albino Bones!
Album Rating: 3.5whats this like in comparison to david comes to life?
Album Rating: 4.0It's very good in its own right, but I doesn't come close to David, imo...
Although it's easier to take in, being not as lenghty and all.
Album Rating: 5.0Definitely not the shape of punk to come. But here's the question, is this the end of the last punk
wave called hardcore? I think maybe so.
also: hey there prog tag!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Running back Anthony Alridge was among five players the Denver Broncos released on Wednesday.
Alridge spent his rookie season last year on injured reserve after hurting his left foot in the preseason. The broncos also released running backs Alex Haynes and P.J. Pope, tight end Chad Mustard and wide receiver Cliff Russell.
Mustard returned to the Broncos in November following an injury to tight end Nate Jackson. It was his 11th Pro contract and his sixth stint with the Broncos.

I'd love to have dozens of Laser Mines and faster seedling spawning :-D
[Edited by bdarby, 10/21/2009 1:14:20 PM]
There is a console? How do you call it out?
I know there were debug modes in the earlier builds, it's certainly been disabled or changed in the final build.
You can also still get into the debug menus, to do that once your in game press Left Ctrl & D at the same time then you'll have access to 5 different menus by pressing F2, F3, F4, F5 and F12.
I sure hope we get a trainer for this game
[Edited by bdarby, 10/22/2009 12:07:18 PM]
In the console, you can enter:a=GetAsteroid(x)a:AddSuperSeedlings(y)
where x is the designated # of a particular asteroid, and y is the number of seedlings you want to add to that asteroid.
Finding the number x is little bit tricky:You can find it by pausing the game first, and thena=GetAsteroid(x)
then check if you are the owner of that asteroid:a.owner
if a.owner=1, then you are the owner of asteroid x, otherwisem it belongs to the AI or no one, and you just go try x+1 until you find your asteroid.
This can be tedious work if there are dozens of asteroids. In the story mode you can save the work by looking up the number in game's script files:Uncompress Levels.zip in the folder Resources\Maps under game's directory. Find the corresponding .LUA file and open it with a text editor.Then find the asteroid with owner=1.Also, Ctrl+D and then F4 allows you reveal all factions' asteroids, saves you the time to explore. Click limit camera to unlock camera.

When the calendar flipped to Dec. 1 on Sunday, it marked the traditional end to the Atlantic hurricane season.
Fortunately, the season was not an active one, save Tropical Storm Karen that threatened the state briefly in September. By our count, that makes it eight years in a row the state has avoided a severe pounding by a named storm.
Forecasters credit atmospheric conditions for tamping down the number of storms that threatened the Sunshine State. ...

Only the opportunity to elect a great thinker to Congress prompts me to join the ranks of civic-minded folks who write to the Letters column.
Jim Evans of Republic is offering to serve us as representative of the 7th Congressional District, his first time to run for public office following a lifetime of teaching math and computer science in Springfield schools. At Central High School he had a stellar career teaching the best and brightest attracted to Central as a magnet school and a pioneer in the A+ program of accelerated curriculum.
I've known and admired Jim for decades. As a young man, he built his own home, incorporating new conservation ideas and features such as solar panels and passive heating. Just recently he researched the technology and construction necessary to build an elaborate solar grid in his yard that supplies all fuel needs for the home, plus excess returned to power lines.
Jim applies the same methods of thorough research of facts and critical analysis in coming to conclusions regarding social and political issues. Personally, I know him to be a level-headed, well-reasoned, moderate thinker; not highly partisan, but motivated by a deep sense of civic responsibility and patriotism in its most basic form. In Jim, we have the kind of conscientious, dedicated citizen-participant in democracy that our government so badly needs.
I urge you to vote for Jim Evans in November.

Jonathan Edwards on Original Sin (Part 19)
From The Great Christian Doctrine of Original Sin Defended 2.1.3.
Did God, in Adam, deal with mankind in general, specifically regarding the consequences of sin?
I. Though God does not explicitly say, in His warning to Adam concerning the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that Adam's posterity are included in the threat of death, it should be noted "that there is scarcely one word that we have an account of, which God ever said to Adam or Eve, but what does manifestly include their posterity in the meaning and design of it."
A. The commands and blessings in Geneis 1:28-29 obviously regard the whole human race.
B. God's recorded intention for creating Man in Genesis 1:26 obviously regards the whole human race.
C. The curse upon Man recorded in Genesis 3:19 obviously regards the whole human race.
D. If the curse pronounced upon Man-- the curse that is a consequence for sin-- regards the whole human race, then we must assume that the warning against sin regarded the whole human race.
E. That Adam understood God's words to him to apply to his posterity as well is indicated by his naming the Woman Eve (Gen 3:20), in the hope of the Tempter being defeated by her seed, as God had indicated.
II. OBJECTION: Adam could not have understood the threat of death as the consequence of his sin to refer to his posterity as well-- for the threat seems to preclude Adam having any descendents-- since God seems to say that Adam will die on the day he eats of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
A. The phrase, "In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die," is not [primarily] intended to indicate that God would kill Adam within 24 hours of eating the fruit, but rather:
1. This phrase signifies "real connexion between the sin and the punishment." [Edwards seeks to prove this assertion through an appeal to Eze 33:12-13.]
2. This phrase signifies that "Adam should be exposed to death by one transgression." [Edwards seeks to prove this assertion through an appeal to 1 Kings 2:37.]
B. The phrase, "In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die," does not indicate "that God obliged himself to execute the punishment in its utmost extent on that day," but rather:
1. Adam died spiritually in the moment he sinned, and he began to die physically.
2. Adam "immediately fell under the curse of the law, and condemnation to eternal perdition."

Living With Asthma
Living With Asthma
Resource Guide
Asthma can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are sometimes similar to other lung conditions. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will listen to your lungs.
In addition, the following tests may be performed:
Pulmonary function tests
(PFTs) are done using an instrument known as a spirometer. The spirometer measures how much air is inhaled and expelled as you breathe. This test will measure both the amount and the rate of air that can pass through your airways.
The diagnosis of asthma is usually made when reversible lung airway obstruction is detected with PFTs. Lung obstruction means that the air passes too slowly through the airways. When the obstruction is corrected after you are given an inhaled dose of rescue medication, the obstruction is called reversible. At this point if the symptoms have been chronic, asthma is typically diagnosed. Your diagnosis may be reactive airway disease if the symptoms have been there for only a short time.
A peak flow meter measures the fastest rate at which you expel air. Peak flow meters can be used at home to assess if the degree of airway obstruction indicates an asthma attack will soon occur or that your medication may need to be changed.
People with asthma will have a mild constriction of the airways when the drug methacholine is inhaled. If asthma is suspected, but there are no obvious symptoms of airflow obstruction on PFTs, methacholine is given and the tests are done again.
The diagnosis of asthma is usually made if the PFTs indicate lung airway obstruction during a provocation test.
You may have
allergy tests
if allergic asthma is suspected. A tiny allergen particle is placed under the skin with a needle. In the majority of cases, an allergic response is confirmed if the skin becomes raised or red within 20 minutes.
Under some circumstances, the less accurate radioallergosorbent (RAST) test can be used to detect allergic responses.

HP adopts Penryn for customized notebooks
updated 03:05 pm EST, Mon January 28, 2008
HP adopts Penryn CPUs
Confirming some earlier leaks, HP has formally begun using Intel's Penryn processors in a select number of its notebooks. The dv2700t, dv6700t and dv9700t should now all have the option of a 2.5GHz T9300 processor, which has a 6MB L2 cache and is approximately 10 percent faster than a similar chip from Intel's Santa Rosa platform. Choosing a T9300 adds substantially to the cost of a system however, at a price of $225.
In addition to increasing cache and speed specifications, Penryn processors also use a smaller 45nm architecture, reducing the power consumption that would be needed for equivalent speed on 65nm Santa Rosa technology. The new HP notebooks do not fully exploit 45nm manufacturing though, as enhanced motherboards are not yet in production. [via NotebookReview]

Each Weekly Memo to the City Council and the agenda packet is also provided on the City Council web page.
Red River State Recreational Area Campground
The Red River State Recreational Area Campground (RRSRA) experienced record gross revenue in 2012 with nearly $240,000. East Grand Forks will net over $130,000 in net revenue for its operation of the facility. In total, the current agreement to operate the campground has resulted in approximately $40,000 in additional revenue and savings to the City compare to the previous agreement. The campground popularity continues to grow. And, 2012's record year provides great emphasis on one of the City's top legislative priorities for 2013 to expand the RRSRA campground.
Building Inspections Annual Report
The Building Inspections office has posted its 2012 Construction Record report. East Grand Forks saw its building stabilize overall in 2012 with increases in a couple of key areas. Overall, there were exactly 300 total permits issued in 2012. This is down slightly from 315 issued in 2011. However, the focus shifted in 2012 from repair permits to new building. East Grand Forks saw 21 new single-family housing permits in 2012, compared with just four in 2011. There was one new commercial permit issues in 2012, but it was noteworthy. The Minnesota Heights development is permitted to add over $5.1 million in property valuation to the City.
League Legislative Priorities
The League of Minnesota Cities released its top legislative priorities as approved by the League's board of directors. Among the priorities are city revenue diversification, data privacy for citizen e-mail, economic development, local government aid, and street improvement districts.
Public Works Department
We have noticed recently that many residents haven't been bring their recycling/refuse containers in off the curb within 24 hours of collection. It makes it very tough to remove snow without damaging containers. So this is just a friendly reminder to follow the City Ordinance and remove containers within designated time.
Ordinance 51.03 Container Required; Placement
It shall be the responsibility of the subscriber to place the container no earlier than 6:00p.m. of the afternoon preceding the collection day, and to remove the container within 24 hours of collection of the garbage and refuse.
Agenda Items
The City Council will tackle a heavy agenda at its first work session of the year after easing into the new year up to this point.
- The Rollin' on the River Inline Skating Marathon organization will request a special event for Friday, August 23. The request includes closing and using the boardwalk area parking lot (River Street) for music and other entertainment following the marathon, which runs during the day. The organization intends to work with the East Grand Forks downtown businesses on for promotional activities.
- The City Engineer will present plans and specification for 2013 City Project No. 2 –Water main and force main improvements. The project started as the 2013 Water and Light water main project. Staff recommends adding a waste water force main extension connecting the swimming pool area to the Master Lift Station. The extension was originally planned for 2014. The City Engineer and public works staff recommend advancing the waste water funds in order to alleviate insistent odor control issues along 10th Ave NE. Therefore, staff recommends adding the project to the existing Water and Light project to maximize contractor bid opportunities.
- The Public Works Director will present quotations to repair storm water lift station number 16.
- The Public Works Director will update the City Council on its waste water treatment activities following an annual inspection from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) last fall. The annual inspection was a routine procedure that issues that are, for most part, relatively easy to fix. MPCA identified one long-term issue to address: the waste water treatment project. MPCA is requesting three progress reports from the City in the next two months that will detail the status of the repair items as well as the Council direction for long-term treatment alternatives. The Public Works Director will lead the discussion regarding the Council's priorities for long-term treatment.
- I will discuss the City's 2013 Legislative Priorities as proposed after consulting Mayor Stauss. Four proposed priorities include: Red River State Recreational Area (RRSRA) expansion, a Northwest Regional Wellness and Community Center, Local Government Aid (LGA), and long-term funding for proposed Waste Water Phase II treatment and repairs.
- Council Member Tweten will discuss a quotation to install a drinking fountain and water bottle filler in the boys' locker room of the Civic Center Arena. The locker room is leased and maintained by the East Grand Forks School District.
- Council Member Tweten will propose to reduce the interest rate on future special assessments from 4.5 percent to approximately 0.25 percent above general obligation bonding rates, which would currently equate to approximately 2.5 percent. As proposed the rate would apply to 2012 Assessment Job No. 4 – Riverview 10th Addition – and any future projects. Council Member Tweten also proposes to eliminate the three percent Administrative fee that is factored into special assessments. The Administrative Fee was not included in the agenda packet materials.
- The Fire Chief will recommend the city accept the 2013 SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant award. The SAFER grant reimburses a full-time fire fighter wages and benefits for two full years. The City must agree not to reduce staffing during the grant period. The City also received a SAFER grant in 2011-2012.
- Chief Hedlund will discuss a Polk County proposal to install a radar speed sign on a county road as it approaches the City. Polk County has recommended installation on County Road 19 near Highway 220. The Police Chief and the City Planner recommend County Highway 72 leading into Bygland Road. The City responsible would be responsible for half of the costs for installation, approximately $2500.
- The Police Chief will discuss a quotation to install new in-car video systems in the City's patrol vehicles to replace the dated systems currently in place. The purchase is budgeted in the 2013 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
- I will discuss a proposal to eliminate a retiree health benefit that is not available to current employees. The City currently allows retired employees with a spouse and no dependents to enroll as two single policies rather than as a family. Two single policies are less expensive than a family plan to the retiree. However, the City does not allow active employees without dependents to enroll as single policies. Therefore, the City has, by default, subsidized retiree health plans at the expense of active employees. I recommend ending this practice effective July 1, 2013.
- The Parks and Recreation Superintendent will discuss a private event (wedding reception) at the Civic Center this spring. The event requires City Council approval because alcohol would be served by a private party. The City requires additional insurance and security for private events with alcohol serving and/or consumption.

INVERTRONIC Inverter Systems
The requirement for power supply reliability is growing, due to the increasing application of information and data carrier systems, text processing, automated production processes and complex data networks.
Irregularities due to loading of the public power supply by major users, peak-time use or by lightning strikes cannot be avoided.
The result is:
Mains voltage breaks, spikes and transients.
Static inverters are being installed increasingly for loads
who require AC voltages unaffected by interference on the mains e.g.
- Data processing installations
- Process control computers
- Air safety installations
- Signalling, alarm systems
- Telecommunication systems
- Power- and Substations
The INVERTRONIC inverter range is available with single phase or three phase output. The DC input voltage is 220V.
The exceptional characteristics of this inverter series results in very small dynamic voltage deviations even in the case of one hundred percent load changes.
A combination of a 16-bit micro-controller and the latest power electronic is responsible for controlling and monitoring of all inverter and static switch functions with highest reliability. A static switch and a manual bypass switch are integrated in the unit.

The Ugly Divorce of FM Radio and the Music Industry
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On February 22, 2005 @ 8:46 am In Finance,Music | Comments Disabled
Excellent discussion over at A/V revolution [1] by Jerry Del Colliano on the The Ugly Divorce of FM Radio and the Music Industry [1].
My favorite quote perfectly sums up what's been long with the recording industry forever:
record industry hasn't had it as good as radio in recent years. While
radio was booming in the late '90s, the music business was dealing with
new technology the only way it has historically known how to do – by
fighting anything new."
The rest of the piece is filled with arguments that readers of this blog will surely be familiar with. Its well worth the read.
Here's an excerpt:
"The value proposition of selling an album with one or two hit songs on a $16.95 disc is no longer competitive with the music consumers, especially the all-important Gen Y audience. DVD-Video movies cost a little more than $20 and offer an entire feature film containing an audio and video experience that lasts over two hours. Instead of embracing music in surround sound and higher resolutions at lower prices, the music business is now trying to reinvent itself by selling songs one at a time on legal download sites. Some progress is being made on that front, but it will always be competing with free downloads – a tough battle. Until the music business addresses increasing the quality and the value of their discs, they will be losing market share year after year as they cling on to the antiquated compact disc and continue to believe in the questionable download model.
Hollywood movie studios, in contrast, are getting ready to sell all of their catalog movies all over again on either Blu-Ray, HD-DVD and.or Windows Media 10. High-definition video is a good enough reason for mainstream consumers to buy their movie collections all over again. Little mention of how to sell music on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD has been made public, despite the format's likely launch later in 2005."
Good stuff. Glad to see that many of the non-mainstream positions we have been staking out are penetrating into the rank and file. Is it only a matter of time before someone in the industry figures out whats wrong and how to deal with technology — or am I too optimistic?
What's a solution to the industry's woes? How about the recording and broadcast industry stop working against their own interest:
"The record business is unquestionably its own worst enemy, but it needs to look to their former best friend, FM radio, as a way out of their troubles. They need to find a way to sell music on discs that are an excellent value and can compete favorably with HDTV-oriented discs that are only months away from hitting store shelves with two-hour-long movies configured for consumers' enjoyment. Radio offers free advertising – worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year – to the music business, which is essential in breaking and developing new artists, even with new broadcast technologies like Internet and satellite radio. If major labels focused more on creating and nurturing talent, as they did when they were most successful, and less on fighting over signing high-priced established bands and has-been solo artists, they would be able to offer radio the better content they crave. More records are guaranteed to be sold. More people would tune in for morning and afternoon drive radio. Radio and the music business would both win, no matter what the new technology challengers do."
We've [2] been [3] discussing [4] this [5] for [6] what [7] seems [8] like [9] forever. [5] Glad to see someone else picking up the baton . . .

This is my blog. My aim is to help and inform people of things that happen and influence my life. I hope that someone out there will benefit in some way!
A few months ago, I wrote about how to block a friend on Facebook from seeing your posts, photos etc (Block specific friends on Facebook from seeing your posts, photos etc), well now there is an even easier way with Facebooks new Lists feature released recently.
You may have seen that you had some lists created on the left pane by default with the new upgrade of Facebook, if you hover over the title Lists, you will see a link called More, click on this to show all the lists that have been created for you, or ones you have have created.
Scroll to the bottom and you will see a list called Restricted. Friends on this list will only be able to see what you post as Public, so if you don't post anything public, they won't see anything that you post!
To add a friend is simple, just click on the box with the words 'Add Friends to this list' on the top right and start typing a name. Once you find the friend you want, simply click on on them and they are automatically added to the list.

Forget about the telephone and Internet, and instead enjoy a peaceful moment much like the cowboy tending his herd, the explorer drinking from an unspoiled stream, or a Civil War soldier relishing a quiet moment between battles. Standard issue during the Civil War, each American made tin cup makes the perfect gift for the history buff, the busy executive, and any guy or gal who appreciates nostalgia. So let your imagination flow as you enjoy this epic relic of Americana. You'll surprisingly bring history to life with each sip.

How to Create Visual Social Media Content
Do you use images to boost engagement?
Are you looking for tools to create better visual content?
Creating compelling visuals for your social media marketing can be challenging.
In this article you'll find just about every resource you need to create visual stories on all of the major social platforms.
The Big Picture
Visual content has become extremely important to marketers' social tactics. That's because of a growing consumer interest in images as evidenced by popular sites like Pinterest, Instagram and Snapchat.
People connect more emotionally with images than they do with text. In fact, customers are more likely to take action or make a decision when prompted with an image.
That means brands using visual social media content to drive a stronger message to their audience will naturally cut through the noise and rise to the top.
Here's a lot of important stuff you need to know about visual content for social media marketing.
#1: Making the Case for Visual Content in Social Media
The use of visual content in social media has exploded, partly because it's so easy to create and share images and video with a smartphone, and partly because images are more persuasive than text content. Here are some important reasons why you should include visual stories in your social marketing tactics.
Why Use Visual Content in Social Media Marketing?: Over at the Marketing Tech Blog, Douglas Karr breaks it down for us with an infographic (of course) to explain why any social marketing should be dominated by visuals.
22 Top Blogging Tools Loved by the Pros
Looking for exciting new tools to simplify the blogging experience? If so, keep reading.
We decided to get the scoop on today's hottest blogging tools.
We asked 22 pros to share their favorite new finds. Here they are…
#1: InboxQ
A great blogging tool I discovered a few months ago is InboxQ. I like it because it helps me come up with better blog topics. This tool helps you find questions people are asking on Twitter.
InboxQ lets you create campaigns with different keywords. Usually the best thing to do is to create campaigns with keywords from topics you specialize in. So when someone asks a question with those keywords, you will be updated about it and you can answer the question.
You can work on these questions and come up with better blog topics in your area of specialty. For example, I have two campaigns: one on white papers with keywords like white paper, whitepaper, etc., and the other on social media with keywords like social media, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, etc.

How Steve Jobs Changed the World: This Week in Social Media
Welcome to our weekly edition of what's hot in social media news. To help you stay up-to-date with social media, here are some of the news items that caught our attention.
What's New This Week?
Social media channels this week were among the first to reveal the passing of one of the world's greatest innovators—Steve Jobs.
Social Media Examiner's founder Michael Stelzner was on a webinar with Guy Kawasaki, former Apple chief evangelist, just as the news broke. Here are Mike's words:
Ten minutes before Guy Kawasaki was to keynote Facebook Success Summit 2011, Guy said to me, "Mike, we have a problem…" I said, "Guy, what??" My heart started pumping hard. He said, "Steve Jobs died…" I was shocked, and didn't believe him at first! He said, "Go to CNN.com" Knowing that Guy was the former evangelist for Apple and that Guy had a very strong connection to Steve, many things started going through my head "What do I do…" Guy said, "Do you think it is appropriate that I talk about Facebook marketing or my life experience with Steve Jobs." After some discussion, I decided it was best to let Guy share what was on his mind and heart.
What follows is Guy talking about how Steve Jobs was his hero and how Steve has forever changed business:
Listen to Guy Kawasaki pay a tribute to Steve Jobs and answer questions from callers.
