Reading reflection 3


What surprised me the most about Steve Jobs was that he went to Atari to practice Zen meditation and learn about Hinduism, I new the he had experimented with LSD and even attributed his success to it, but I was surprised to learn he had a passion for Eastern culture.



Steve Jobs was passionate and highly intellectual person, who had a great sense of stick-to-itiveness. He was also an extremely innovative thinker.



It was confusing to me that Jobs seemed to be such a spiritual man but was so cruel to so many people that loved and supported him and disrespected people he was working with.



If I could ask Jobs any question I would probably ask what his experience with Zen and other forms of meditations, as well as his experimentation with drugs was like and how it contributed to his success, and then I would want to get into talking about technologies with him.



I absolutely think Steve Jobs values hard work simply due to the amount of hard work he put in in order to  launch his first companies.

    Hi John,
    I like how you read the Steve Jobs book. I wanted to read it but truthfully, it was way too long for my taste and knew I would never actually read the whole thing like I should. I love Apple products thought so I bet it would have been a very interesting tale to know about. Good Post!

idea napkin 2

My background regarding this idea is that I surf, skate, skim, wakeboard, snowboard etc. It would be a dream come true to see this idea come to fruition one day not only because how cool it would be, but also because the board sport industry would be the ultimate career for me. I am offering an alternative to other existing ways of riding a mountain. This gives riders the ability to experience the slopes in totally new way. I am offering it to snowboarders, particularly snowboarders whom perhaps have a history skateboarding or surfing or both. This product gives rider the ability to free ride in a whole new way. With an electrically paired breaking system the rider is able ride completely free from the board. This board will have a breaking mechanism built in where it can stop itself if the rider goes out of range of the connection.

Solving the problem

The opportunity here is to create an entirely new way to ride the mountains i.e. snowboarding with out binds or any other binding mechanism. The product I am proposing is basically a skateboard deck with more concave on both the nose and tail of the board. The board has potential to have variances depending on the conditions it is meant to be used in. Variances could include things such as groves on the bottom for riding in harder more packed snow such as what you would find at a ski resort or possibly a larger wider board for deep snow that you could find in the back country. The unique aspect of this board would be the breaking mechanism. Basically the idea is to use a traditional ski break system to pair with a Bluetooth device or something of that nature, to where if the board goes out of range of the rider it automatically releases the ski break in turn stopping the board from sliding down the hill.
