Steve Jobs on TED.com

Steve Jobs gave a commencement speech to Stanford University in 2009 that was posted on TED.com Best Of The Web. The link will be posted below. I know I usually do event promotions, but I am promoting this because it is worth watching. He told three stories about significant happenings in his life. He truly has an incredible story.
When Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, was born he was put up for adoption, his birth mom wanted him to be adopted by someone who went to college. His birth mom had a family all lined up, and at the last minute they decided they wanted a girl. Another family was called in the middle of the night, which had no college education. They promised Steve would go to college.

Amway Center

On April 21, 2011 I had the opportunity to go on a private tour of the Amway Center, the home of the Orlando Magic! Not only does Orlando's basketball team play in this center, many events and concerts are held here. Recently Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin preformed here. I wanted to share some of my photos from the experience:
