June 1983. A 28-year-old Steve Jobs walks into a design conference in Aspen, Colorado. He asks the room who owns a personal computer. Nobody raises their hand. He says “Uh-oh.” Then he spends the next 55 minutes describing the next four decades of technology. Jobs told the audience Apple’s strategy was to “put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you, that you can learn how to use in 20 minutes… with a radio link in it so you don’t have to hook up to anything.” That’s an iPhone. In 1983. The Mac hadn’t even shipped yet. He described an MIT project that sent a camera truck down every street in Aspen, photographed every intersection, and built a virtual walkthrough on a computer screen. Google Street View launched 24 years later. He said office networking was about 5 years away and home networking 10 to 15 years out. The web went mainstream in the mid-90s, about 12 years later. Dead on. He described software being sent electronically over phone lines, with free previews and credit card payment. That’s the App Store, 25 years before it launched. He even compared it to the music industry and said software needed “the equivalent of a radio station” for free sampling. Apple built the iTunes Music Store 20 years later. The AI prediction is the one that hits different now. Near the end, Jobs talked about machines that could capture a person’s “underlying spirit” or “way of looking at the world,” so that after they died, you could ask the machine questions and maybe get answers. He said 50 to 100 years. ChatGPT arrived in about 40. The weird part is this speech was lost for nearly 30 years. The full hour-long recording only surfaced in 2012 when a blogger got a cassette tape from someone who attended the original conference. The Steve Jobs Archive didn’t release actual video footage until July 2024. His timelines were consistently too fast. He wanted the “computer in a book” within the 1980s. Apple’s first attempt was the Macintosh Portable in 1989, which weighed 16 pounds and cost $6,500. The iPad arrived in 2010, 27 years late. He guessed voice recognition was about a decade away. Siri launched in 2011, nearly 30 years later. The vision was right every time. The clock was wrong every time. Apple was doing about $1 billion a year in revenue when Jobs gave this talk, with under 5,000 employees. Today it’s worth $3.7 trillion.

In 1951, a restaurant in New Orleans created a dessert on a dare and accidentally invented one of the most dramatic dishes in American culinary history. The city was flooded with bananas. New Orleans was the single largest port of entry for banana imports from Central and South America in the entire United States, and Owen Brennan, the Irish-American owner of Brennan's Restaurant on Royal Street, wanted a dish that put the fruit at the center of the table. He handed the challenge to his chef Paul Blangé and his younger sister Ella, and told them to build something worthy of the restaurant. What came out of that kitchen was Bananas Foster, named after Richard Foster, chairman of the New Orleans Crime Commission and one of Brennan's closest friends and most loyal regulars. The dish is simple. Brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, banana liqueur, and fresh bananas cooked in a copper pan until the sauce is deep and glossy and the bananas are just soft enough to give. Then the rum goes in, the pan tilts toward the flame, and the whole table goes quiet for thirty seconds while blue fire burns off the alcohol and leaves behind something that smells like the best version of caramel you have ever encountered. Then it goes over cold vanilla ice cream and the whole thing is done in under ten minutes. Seventy-five years later Brennan's still flames 35,000 pounds of bananas every single year for this one dessert. Seventy-five percent of all desserts ordered at the restaurant are still Bananas Foster. It has been on the menu every single day since 1951 and it has never needed to change because it was right the first time. © Eats History #archaeohistories

I thought this was a really good perspective on #iubb from a Peegs member.

Alice in Chains doing “Man in the Box” on ABC’s In Concert (1991) is unreal — Layne Staley sounds like he’s tearing the words out of himself, and Jerry’s riff just grinds straight through you. Pure early-’90s darkness, no filter.

Long ago, someone took a cassette tape of Alvin & Chipmunks pop covers, slowed it down to 1/8th speed, and revealed the most important goth-postpunk album ever recorded. Gone for many years, it's back on YouTube again. You must hear this landmark: youtube.com/watch?v=CSqnbm…

@stmcgee @TomFornelli Man I sure hope not. I’m an Indiana fan. I’m not an obnoxious fan.

Known Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, Notre Dame, Birmingham City, Jerry Reinsdorf, ACC, Expanded playoffs prior to 2026, Ralph Russo and Green Bay Packers hater @TomFornelli had this to say about Indiana fans. Do you agree?

@crimsonquarry Upland? Maybe too small.. Lilly is a big Indiana company

alright if indiana has to have a jersey sponsor, which feels inevitable, what should it be
