A quick word on the passing of Mr. Steve Jobs.


Whether you were a fan of Apple products or not, Steve Jobs was a true innovator and an inspiration. His dedication to his work and the detail he put into not only the technology, but the design of the products, and even the design of the boxes they were packaged in, is something to model ourselves after. He revolutionized the world of personal computing, the music industry, and the world of animation (with Pixar). The world has lost a wonderful creative genius today, and he will be greatly missed.


Rest in peace Steve Jobs.


"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever excaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.


Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -- Steve Jobs, Stanford 2005 Commencement Speech
