Yeah yeah I know I am a geek and a nerd and all of that, so I could not resist bidding on this Steve Jobs plush toy from PodBrix when I saw it on eBay.

And trust me, whenever you make such a decision in your life, it will either change things for the better more than you could have hoped, or, bang you get wiped out by a Kenworth barrelling down the highway with its speed limiter removed.
