6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 3 – John F. Kennedy
Man, Apple better release a new MacBook or something soon. This dearth of Mac-news is killing me. In order to maintain my sanity, I have been counting how many times I can dribble this basketball in an hour, and then I try to break that record. But for those of you without basketballs to dribble, we have created the “6 degrees of Steve” game to help get you through this lull.
For round 3 of the tournament, we have decided to go political on your asses, and we are throwing out the name of none other than the 35th president of the US of A. You know who I’m talkin’ ’bout, people! Give it up for Mr. John… F… Kennedy!
(Ok, maybe this basketball isn’t working after all).
So, can you link Steve Jobs to JFK in 6 steps or less? (without using the film JFK as a step?).
Good luck!

Hey doc I don’t know about you but I have this new video game to keep me occupied called Halo 3. And if you are not a fan of FPS’s there is plenty of other games for you. Save a basketball, use a controller.
Yes, Jobs – Clinton – JFK.
Jobs had Clinton over for dinner and Jobs stayed a night in the White House during Clinton’s presidency:

When Clinton was a youth he met JFK:

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I know if I get into Halo, Macenstein will pretty much collapse. I get addicted to video games like others with drugs. After Civilization 3, I had to swear off all video games for the next 5 years.
I’m coming up on my 2 year chip.
