I really don’t want to add to the endless watershed of “tribute” posts that follow an important figure’s demise. As far as I’m concerned what really matters is the passing of a significant continuing impact on our lives and blathering on about how we feel about it is just self promotional pandering. In any case Steve Jobs’ significance to the world of the tech and design is unquestionable, and as man who beat the odds through intelligence, innovation and sheer ballsyness is someone that is inspirational as well, no matter what you think of his business principles.
Here’s something (all too often shared now, but not enough before) where you will see why and how Steve Jobs was Steve Jobs; the Stanford University Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.
