– Prof. Hubert Farnsworth
I never knew Steve Jobs.
But he had a profound influence on the individual I have become. Growing up, I never quite fit in. While everyone else wanted to be the same, I wanted to be different.

So sad.

All week, people kept talking about how it was going to rain. I kept checking my weather Dashboard widget, and couldn’t understand what people were talking about. This is what the forecast looked like to me:
I kept thinking “huh, it looks like it’s supposed to be warm this week, but maybe that little blip of rain is what people are talking about. No. I flipped the widget...
