Tomorrow marks a significant milestone in the history of technology as we celebrate the anniversary of the Macintosh and the iconic “1984” commercial. On this day, we commemorate the unveiling of the revolutionary Macintosh computer, and the unforgettable advertisement that accompanied its launch. It was on this day, thirty-seven years ago, that the late Steve Jobs introduced the world to the Macintosh, promising to put a dent in the universe. The “1984” commercial, directed by Ridley Scott, captured the imaginations of millions as it symbolized a bold departure from the status quo in the tech industry.

The anniversary of the Macintosh and the “1984” commercial serves as a reminder of the pivotal moment that redefined the trajectory of personal computing. The commercial’s powerful imagery and message of empowerment through technology left an indelible mark, reflecting the ethos of innovation and challenge to convention that continues to define the Apple brand. Tomorrow’s anniversary prompts us to reflect on the enduring influence of the Macintosh and the cultural impact of the “1984” commercial, underscoring their lasting legacy in the realm of technology and advertising.

Moving on….

I’m sure you’ve heard of Nick Dunlap. The amateur at Alabama that won a PGA Event. The winning check was $1.5 million dollars, and he couldn’t take any of it due to his amateur status. The last person to do this was Phil Mickelson. Now he’s faced with difficult decisions – with that win, he’s afforded a full PGA Tour membership and gets into all the majors. The only issue is he’s still in college and still an amateur. What does he do? He started things off with withdrawing from the Farmers Insurance open saying that his life has changed too much and he needs time to settle down.

Double Standards

I had asked one of my friend’s what he thought of this video. Kinda shrugged it off and his response was of the sort ,”He’s on the campaign trail. Easy to be confused.” My view is if you’re going to call the President senile and lost. Then, when Former President Trump displays some of the same signs, you have to call it the same way.

Please feel free also to remember when DT thought he had won a race against Obama and also made claims that Joe Biden was going to lead us to World War II. Yes. World War II. Didn’t that happen already?

We are in a sad shape. Both of these candidates (Republican and Democrat alike) are just dreadful. Terrible. How is this the best we have to offer? How did we end up here? Is it the deep tribalism and people refusing to see what’s right in front of them? The arguments are like this,”My cognitively declining geriatric is better than your cognitively declining geriatric.” That’s where we’re at.

Onto some comedy though. You gotta love a Professor having a debate with a ‘Flat Earther’
