Woke up to see that the @wsj chose to review Ron's and my book — Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius. And called it a "remarkable story." And put their review online AND in print. AND shipped it internationally! How cool. Thanks @jsnell. Gift article for those who want to read his review. @WSJBooks @HarperBusiness wsj.com/business/retail/shop…

a guy named “Tim” wrote a review of Shop Different. That’s all I’m saying.

I wrote a book! It's called Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius. I coauthored it with the retailer who created the Apple Store, Ron Johnson. It's Ron's perspective on creating the Apple Store with Steve Jobs, and it's available for preorder now. In stores 9/22.

after helping my mom set up her smart tv, I am convinced there is nothing scarier to a 60+ year old than a sign-in screen
feel like China was trying to tell us something when they named what will likely go down as the most effective spyware in the history of the world “TikTok”

stuck on Chicago’s blue line underground somewhere just shy of the Division stop, apparently someone ran onto the tracks and they haven’t found them, so power is entirely off, no movement at all

If anyone is on the tracks they’re about to get Pikachu’d HARD

Lights and AC are BACK baby. No movement yet but we are getting there. Just felt the train move! LFG! God bless America. Tax dollars at work. You love to see it. Headed back to Division now. Stopped again. Moving again. What a whirlwind.
We’re also having to coordinate with other members of Chicago PD/FD who are on the tracks, as well as the other trains that are backed up behind us. They’re now saying we can go to Grand, which doesn’t make a ton of sense. Seems like we are close to Division, next is Chicago stop

There’s a pregnant woman on the train who is saying she needs to get off soon… but power seems to be coming back on. Fire dept is getting on the train. Conductor announcing “all aboard!” Progress(?!)
