So, the new Apple iPhone is ridiculously cool. I want one badly and am not OK with waiting til June for FCC approval.

One thing I thought was cool about today's presentation of the device were some comments made by musical guest John Mayer during his performance. I'm paraphrasing here, but Mayer was thanking Steve Jobs and Apple for "making life more fun," a spot-on observation. Then he said something that really struck me: "It's like the complete opposite of terrorism."

It was a clumsy joke by a guy who's not a comedian, but I thought it was really cool. At it's core, he's just about right. People making cool stuff or doing good things to make the world more fun, more fair, and more plentiful really are doing the against violence and hatred of all forms.

So, short form: Steve Jobs, more anti-terrorism that George Bush.

Long form: Seek out fun, fairness, and plenty in your own life's work. It's an important antidote to the scary stuff going on in our world.
