So.
You’re the head of a highly secretive company.
You’re known for being temperamental and very mysterious.
The goods your company produces are highly popular, but they’re developed in secret.
When they’re introduced, they’re invariably accompanied by much anticipation, a media blitz, and fans worldwide salivating over the newest products.
Who are you?

Willy Wonka? Or Steve Jobs?
As soon as I saw this picture from today’s Macworld keynote, it reminded me of the Wonkavision scenes from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory…and the more I thought about it, the more parallels there seemed to be.
I dunno ‘bout you, but I’ve certainly never seen Steve Jobs and Willy Wonka in the same place at the same time…
Update: Image now hosted by Flickr, which I probably should have done before I thought “Hey, Jason might think this is funny….” I didn’t think it’d bring my server to its knees quite this badly, though! Ooops.
“I’ve Got a Miniature Secret Camera” by Murphy, Peter from the album Love Hysteria (1988, 4:25).

Man, that is ten pounds of funny in a five-pound sack. I hope the world beats a path to your door to read this.
Dude, you got kottke’d!
Yeah — and much to my everlasting shame, I had to go into immediate damage control mode. Turns out my server couldn’t handle the traffic, and I ended up having to beg Jason to link to the flickr page for the photo, instead of this one.
Ah, well…life goes on. At least a few more people might get a grin out of this ridiculousness.
