A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

‘Steve Jobs: The man who polished Apple’ from Times Online. I’m not sure we really need another profile of Steve Jobs, but this one’s actually not uncomplimentary if you can identify with Jobs’ mechanisms. Indeed I’m not sure why he is attempting to suppress it—except that he needs to maintain ‘unknowability’.
