Apples, Computers, and Steve Jobs
I seldom post about celebrities who die. Even if I loved their work. I didn't know them or their families or even their friends. Anything I say will never even be noticed which is fine - that's the way of the world and the internet. I always hope that somewhere my good wishes will cosmically help the family and friends left behind... one of those whimsical ideas that float into and out of my head.
However, this one man has done so many things over the years and changed life for us all in so many ways, I feel a need to say something - even if I'm the only one who sees it.
I can't do justice to commemorating the life of someone like Steve Jobs. Andy Ihnatko does a far better job (and so he should because he is a writer and words are his stock in trade - I just babble).
Steve was larger than life, but very much a real person, at least that's how I saw him. Few people ever make the effort to truly change the world. Steve Jobs was one of those people. He had a vision and he brought it to us. He put it in front of us. He insisted we take notice. He insisted form and function could both be beautiful. The end result were some amazing inventions.
I will miss his innovative ideas, I think the world will too. I hope someone else steps forward to do something similar, but I'm afraid that doesn't happen nearly often enough.
Rest in peace Steve. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. The world is a poorer place without you.
