Are All Apple Store Employees Snobs?

July 7th, 2009

@bbautista asked a really interesting question of me as a comment on one of my random “at the Apple Store” videos. Here is what he said…

@bbautista on Apple employees

Shocking as this may be, I really do believe in what I said to him, as it’s what I’ve actually experienced.

Care to share your experience or the lack thereof about an Apple Store employee. I’d love to know. Leave a comment! ^_^

Finally, I spotted an article on Current.com with a headline that reads, “Steve Jobs is a Horrible Manager”. There’s no story per se on Current, but the original article originated at the Harvard Business blog written by Bill Taylor and he kinda chews into Jobs. However, I can’t cast my vote one way or another because Mr. Jobs isn’t my boss.

But anyway, here is a little piece of what Bill Taylor said…

Humility is not part of the Steve Jobs leadership repertoire — and that’s worked out fine for him. But humility has become a crucial part of the job description for leaders who aren’t Steve Jobs. So marvel at his products, applaud his feel for design, wonder at his capacity to cast such a large shadow over so many industries — and, by all means, pray for his speedy recovery and long health.

But don’t think you’ll do better as a leader by acting more like Apple’s leader. Trust the art, not the artist.

Ouch!

That’s all.

From the Archives: iJump iPhone App – Test Trial Video Log

June 28th, 2009

Below is blog post from a while ago. Enjoy!

When I originally created this silly little video, the idea was I recorded a video log of my trial run with an iPhone application I’d been developing. I don’t want to spoil it for folks that haven’t seen it by saying much more, however. But at any rate, I was publicly releasing one of my top-secret logs exclusively for readers of this blog.

Today, I am re-releasing it today less than 30 days prior to the day I released it a year ago. I chose it because so many folks loved it, particularly making it a select video for the front page of Viddler.com, one of my favorite video sharing sites. So, enjoy! …again. ;)

P.S. I am asked often, will I make more funny videos. Yes, with time. I know this past year was a total dud since the making of this video, but I’ve been plottin’ and plannin’ all summer so far. Be patient with me. Not now, but soon!
