I'm going to go lie down now.

You know those moments you have where you finally realize something blindingly obvious? So obvious that you should have known it long ago? And all you can say is, "Wait...what?" Today I finally realized that this man:

is in fact this man:


See, I remember Steve Jobs from...*mutterdatingmemutter*...the before time. In the long long ago. When dinosaur computers roamed the Earth. I was also vaguely aware that he went back to Apple not so long ago.

But I also knew of this man called Steve Jobs who founded Pixar. A man who looked like the guy in the second picture. And *never* did my mind say, "Huh. It's the same guy." Because apparently I have brain damage. And then they mentioned it on the radio this morning.

It was as if Ewan McGregor himself came trotting down the freeway astride a polar bear.

Oh yeah. Disney just bought Pixar.

Prescience, thy name is Hya!

See, I didn't hear about this at all until. Well, you.

And woah, this is like, really freaky cause last night, as I was falling asleep, I was thinking, "Hmmm...I'd like to watch Disney's Little Mermaid again..." Then I thought, "Dude...why don't they make Disney animated films every summer like they used to do..." Then: "Oh yeah, they have those Pixar films every summer like The Incredibles..." Which of course led to: "Hey, wait, does Disney OWN Pixar or do they just partner up on those films?" which of course ended with me falling asleep thinking, "Damn, if not, Disney should just buy Pixar already, cause it'll probably be cheaper...they'll take over everything else anyway, and then Google should buy Disney."

I AM A SAGE!!

I'm sorry...did you just say that Disney BOUGHT Pixar?
I cannot get my head around that.
I, having been a Mac user for many years, already knew Steve Jobs was Steve Jobs. ;)
*sigh*
Well, at least Michael Eisner is no longer at the helm. I guess that's something...maybe.

Looks like. It's pretty much down to dotting the I's and crossing the T's.

I am a dork.

Hopefully.

And the fun thing is...

...that, according to yesterday's paper, if this deal is the all-stock swap it's been rumored to be, the single biggest shareholder in Disney is now the aforementioned Steve Jobs.

Cool, eh?

Disney's board may end up wishing they hadn't bought Pixar. *evil grin*

Probably best thing that's happened to Disney since Walt.

Ok...maybe I am reading that wrong..but did you say you dated Steve Jobs??

HA!! No. I was saying I was old, but I'm not *that* old. :D

Veiled insult or sincere idolatry?
