The best seat in Cupertino

Stool Valleywag has broken what will clearly be the story of 2006: Steve Jobs Secret Stool. It’s what makes him so successful as we can clearly rule out the turtleneck of yesteryear. Their source:

With annual Mac Nuremberg rally just around the corner I thought I’d drop a line on an interesting tid-bid I just heard about His Steveness. We all know about his size 14 feet and shifting allegiances to bottled water…….

We can now also confirm that The Dear Mac Leader has a special stool. It’s three-legged, designer (natch) and is his special friend on long business trips in the company jet: he requires the stool be present at all worldwide company events that he attends as well as outbound speaking engagements that are designated “stool-appropriate”. Let’s hear it for the hardest working stool in Silicon Valley!

I hadn’t thought about it until now, but this got me thinking. Maybe that stool that always rests in front of his demo machine of choice really is what compels me to watch each keynote over and over again. It looks so comfortable. Allow me to share with you in a moment of private humility that I totally misread Valleywag’s piece the first time through. Use Mac OS X’s built-in dictionary to figure out how I misinterpreted the object in question. I was tired when I read it. Forgive me.
