Former Apple employee blogging his experiences

As a Mac fanatic, I find stories relating to the history of Apple very interesting. There are some great ones at Folklore, of course, and today I came across "Writer's Block Live," a blog by a former Apple employee who is writing a book based on his experiences. Luckily for us, the blog itself will become that book.

There are some very interesting tidbits, like this peek into the birth of the iPod: "'This feels like crap!' Steve growled at the engineer from the industrial design department. He repeatedly plugged and unplugged the headphones from the pre-production iPod and looked as if he might fling it across the room. '...these headphone jacks all have to be replaced by tomorrow' he continued.

Tomorrow was October 22, 2001, one day before the introduction of Apple's new digital music player, known as P68, but soon to be christened 'iPod'."

There's a lot more, including a large entry entitled "Jobs I've Known." It's really fun to read. Check it out.
