A blog about food, wine, photography, travel, tech, pop culture, and social media...with a little geek thrown in for flavor.
I love to cook, collect and try new recipes. I'm always in search of the perfect meal, the perfect glass of wine, the perfect cup of coffee. Some people eat to live...but I live to eat.

Jay Yoo: Apple goes political with patent application.
This is great. Apple, with more cash in the bank than the US Treasury, takes matters in their own hands when it comes to sustainability. It’s great to think they would venture to reinvent “the battery,” or find other new ways to better power electronic devices, as more powerful gadgets require…

Dear Apple, It is very sad to know that such a genius had left us. He has always been my hero, my role model. His words have always been inspiring. ‘Stay hungry, stay foolish’ has become my motto in life, get me to reflect and be true to my self. Even though he can no longer be with us, he had lived a legend and the whole world is lamenting. I really hope Apple could carry on his passion, and do the best that you can to carve out another legend just like him, for he had already built a foundation for you to get going. Wish you all the best and stay tough! I am an Apple fan and will stay tune on your products.

That’s why we all miss him: Steve Jobs produced technology that he believed in, but managed to convey that it was the product of his belief in himself, and in us. He made machines, but he never stopped struggling to shape the machine more than the machine shaped him. For all his optimism, for all his refusal to heed the lessons of the past in his attempt to write the lessons of the future, he also seemed to be fighting a deeply personal rearguard action — he was John Henry, if John Henry had decided to go ahead and invent the damn steam engine, instead of fighting vainly against it. We like to think that Steve Jobs’s fight was against death, and indeed while no one we know has lived like Steve Jobs, everyone we know should have the courage to die like him. But the fight he’ll be remembered for is the one he was fighting from the beginning — his fight against the ugly and inhuman aspects of the very world he helped create. We will miss him, but not because he was the first to stake his life on that battle. We will miss him because he might very well be the last.
Fifty-six years old is too young to lose somebody. Like many of you, cancer has touched my family - immediate and extended. And while so many are, like me, penning their own tributes to Jobs, let’s not forget our sadness will be felt much deeper and for a much longer time by his wife and their children. If anything, let’s hope today’s sad news is as much a renewal of the fight against cancer as it is a remembrance of a true pioneer.
Thank you, Steve.
