Now that Steve&#8217;s gone, they can&#8217;t do it.&#8221;\u00a0 Not that it matters, but I would urge them &#8220;to go hard with it,&#8221; forget about &#8220;the score,&#8221; and let the score take care of itself.\u00a0 It&#8217;s ok not to hit a home run every time to bat. That&#8217;s something I think we all need to practice, given the current 180 mph environment that we live in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From DSC: First, some resources: With iBeacon, Apple is going to dump on NFC and embrace the internet of things &#8212; from gigaom.com by Hari Gottipati Apple&#8217;s iPhone event: Everything you need to know &#8212; from fastcompany.com by Kit Eaton Apple just held a splashy press event in several global locations to launch its new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,252,14,245,5,144],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-apple","category-digital-photography","category-mobile-learning","category-mobile-technologies","category-multi-touch","category-photography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42414"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42425,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42414\/revisions\/42425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
