@FloppyAdult There are some dull parts. After all, it’s 25 hours long! But there are also many entertaining moments.

@FloppyAdult I was skeptical about how compelling Jobs’ story could be… until I listened to the Isaacson audiobook.

I think someone should make a mini-series based on the @WalterIsaacson bio. You’d need that much time to cover all the highlights!

Not saying Steve Jobs wasn’t a jerk at times. But seems like Sorkin’s depiction lacks the complexity depicted in @WalterIsaacson‘s book.

Looks like the Steve Jobs movie is a flop: recode.net/2015/10/25/thu… Maybe they should’ve tried for better accuracy (in casting and script).

I’m just impressed whenever non-performers are willing to speak publicly. Seems unfair to compare them to pro comedians like @marcmaron.

Personally, I like the informal, confessional @ThisAmerLife speaking style, even if it sometimes feels over-acted or cliche.

Interesting analysis of the speech patterns found in narrative NPR shows and podcasts these days: nytimes.com/2015/10/25/fas…

@BosleyBeats Ha… Well, he lived here for awhile. I always assume people in Austin weren’t born here: slate.com/blogs/moneybox…
