Steve Jobs 1955-2011
I spent a lot of this morning already thinking about the passing of Steve Jobs yesterday. I have to say, I've shed more than a few tears because of all the people I didn't know, he was the one that seemed to inspire me, and others, to do some amazing work. I secretly wished I'd be able to move to California, work at Apple, and run into him someday. But that's not to be, and I'm the one that's missing out.
There have been, and will continue to be, I'm sure, tons of thoughts and expressions about the man, and what he's meant for others and the industry as a whole. I can't provide any heartwarming or comical stories about his dedication to the company, it's products, it's people, but I spent all morning reading those by people who could. He was quite literally one in a lifetime.
My world is a little darker because he's left. I'm going to do my best to try and turn up my own light to compensate.
