You guys should check out my dad's site called http://www.writersblocklive.com It's an insider's insight and stories about working at Apple and Steve Job's. It's a unique concept on writing a book about working for Apple and Mr. Job's. It's become popular over the past few months. In fact there is an article in The Guardian right now about the site. Check it out if you haven't already seen it. Let me know what you think, or better yet leave feedback/comments on his site. The comments run rampant over there.

Here's a headline from that article :

"Behind the magic curtain"

"Next week Steve Jobs of Apple will grab media attention with another simple-looking stage show. Mike Evangelist tells the insider secrets of his gruelling preparation"

A minority of them who 'think' they represent the majority are one tough bunch of amusing hecklers. The silent majority like to be able to read whatever they can as they surf in their spare time so don't be dissuaded from posting anything you want to share as long as it doesn't break any laws. 2% of the regular visitors to our website since Jan 1st are in the US military according to my stats Must be trying to learn some card tricks.

Spam? No.

www.Writersblocklive.com has been linked several times here, and he just got a piece in the Guardian.

It's actually pretty interesting reading.

Nice article I wish more of the regular posts around here were as spam-ish as this
