Steve Jobs

I found out the news as I was turning off my computer last night. Twitter was an outpour of reactions, with something like 10,000 tweets per second. It is amazing to read about the various quotes, testimonies and stories from people of how he impacted people's lives. To see how much one man impacted upon the lives of so many. At 56, he lived a relatively short life, and yet accomplished so much. He impacted the lives of not just those in his industry, but almost everyone through Apple and the products they designed. I admire his dedication to his work. There are countless stories out there about his attention to detail (icon ambulance), his stubborness and determination (All things D) and his influence on others (Wired). To think that he only actually stepped down in August, means that he really did work til the very end. The above photo is taken from the Apple homepage. The story behind this photo can be found here.
