Steve Jobs: 1955-2011

He was a role model for me and many people I know and his ideas shaped the roots for my current area of expertise and helped creating the tools I use every single day.

I'm not good at this so I'll leave it here with a quote from Bill Gates.

The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.

You might also check WIRED and interestingly The Onion and you should listen to the speech Jobs gave in 2005 at Stanford University

Update: You should read the touching eulogy by Mona Simpson about her brother.

So long.
