Thoughts on Steve's passing

[Turboladdade]

It's hard to put into words how one feels when a personal hero passes away. This was my Facebook status update upon hearing the news:

I'm indescribably thankful to the man who gave so much meaning to my life and the lives of millions of others around the world. You defined a generation and single-handidly steered an entire industry from humble beginnings to great heights. Thank you so much for all the years of inspiration and brilliance. Thanks for everything, Steve.

Have been reading the news stories all day and last night as well. Started first as breaking news of his death, then the tributes and memorials and look-backs at his insanely great career. So many memories, so many emotions. I'm left with very few words. We owe so much to Steve.

Steve Jobs wasthe man who gave us creative types the tools to help us speak, the paper and markers only someone with no arms could use and the blind the ability to show others a world thru their eyes He created a marriage between technology and art.

He gave us Apple.  

I know for myself, he's made my world a whole lot bigger, better and brighter Every night when I look up at the billions of dancing stars in the sky, I know their will be amongst them an apple shining with all it's might.

Every time I see the new iPhone 4S television commercial, I feel a sense of amazement at the technological leapfrog Siri represents, but also sadness to wonder what grand dreams Steve Jobs had in store for the world that we'll never get to see.
