Agent Palmer

I’ve never been an Apple person, so you can’t call me a MacHead. That doesn’t mean I don’t have respect for Steve Jobs, which is why I picked up his biography by Walter Isaacson. Jobs was an innovative thinker and one of the creative minds that has led technology to where it is now.

Jobs is arguably, along with Steve Wozniak, one of the paramount forefathers of personal computing, as well as the modern mobile age. I, like many others, was interested in how this all came to be – how he was able to see the future before it was here.

One of the main themes throughout the Battlestar Galactica remake was that “All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.”

When it comes to the now infamous October 30, 1938 Mercury Theatre radio broadcast adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds, this sentiment is completely relevant in our current social media, news-of-the-moment Internet society.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was a legendary Jedi Master. He trained Anakin Skywalker, who would betray the Jedi to be come the Sith Lord Darth Vader and was mentor to Luke Skywalker. Having been apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn and having worked along side Yoda and the rest of the the High Jedi Council, Obi-Wan is wise beyond his years.

Of all the Obi-Wan quotes that exist, many can be applied to modern day living, specifically using social media and the internet.

It has launched! The mobile version of AgentPalmer.com is now live and ready for your smartphone, so you can geek on the go! (You may already know this if you’re viewing this on your phone.)

Of course, it is paired down a bit as far as the wonderful design, that Ryan Lynn created for the desktop version. But all the goodness of the geeky content is more easily accessible from your phone. It’s more geek than your pocket can handle, or maybe just enough.
