So here I am Sunday morning ready for another fine day of work in beautiful sunny Santa Monica on Third Street Promenade.
It's quite hot, compared to other days. You'd thing the beach would be much cooler than downtown Los Angeles from which I just came.
I decide to go into Infusion Cafe, order a Thai Boba Tea. (Yum!)
Arrive at work and delight in the tea. Clock in to work. Ready to take care of some hardware and software installs.
After almost having gone through nine-tenths of the tea, and trying to find a good place to put my tea cup dripping with moisture from the chilled drink, the greatest idea and inspiration of the day hits me!
I need a coaster. Not just any coaster, but THE iCoaster!
Quickly plans formulate in my mind. I confiscate a piece of to be recycled card board, a piece of 8.5x11 paper with a huge apple logo printed on it, some plastic to water-proof the cardboard coaster, and set to work on the greatest thing that man ever created. I tape down the logo to the cardboard, and proceed with lackluster precision (or lack thereof) to cut away at the primitive but promising cardboard with the standard box cutter. Then proceed to wrap the creation in plastic.
And finally I proclaim to co-workers Alex, Joel, and Jennifer: "They said it could not be done! But here it is the iCoaster!"
Waves of disinterest or unexcitement pound through the room.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
