March 8, 2008
The March 8 show combines personal history, professional humility and a genuine technology milestone. Dr. Dave tells listeners not to accept anything at face value, explicitly including his own site and his own words on the radio, and his warning matches the later description of knowing when not to change a computer that already works. He remembers being the child who avoided assigned homework but happily sat reading encyclopedias, a contrarian streak that turned curiosity into a lifelong habit. On the eve of his birthday, the brothers joke about his age before Dr. Dave says he feels blessed, is in great health and will celebrate over food with their extended family. The same show records Dr. Dave's immediate recognition that Apple's new native iPhone development kit could transform the early iPhone from a compelling fad into a serious productivity tool.
