    You may not use a Mac, or an iPhone, but he did change the way everyone does things.

    A true visionary.

    Apple - Remembering Steve Jobs


    Here's to the crazy ones.

    The misfits.
    The rebels.
    The troublemakers.
    The round pegs in the square holes.


    The ones who see things differently.

    They're not fond of rules.
    And they have no respect for the status quo.


    You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
    disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

    About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
    Because they change things.


    They invent. They imagine. They heal.
    They explore. They create. They inspire.
    They push the human race forward.

    Maybe they have to be crazy.

    How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
    Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
    Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

    We make tools for these kinds of people.

    While some see them as the crazy ones,
    we see genius.

    Because the people who are crazy enough to think
    they can change the world, are the ones who do.

    As I said on Facebook, "Thanks, Steve. I've had my hands on your products helping me do what I do for 24 years."

    Same here, since my first Apple ][ back in the late 70s. God rest his soul, he has had some harsh times these past years.

    Never met the man yet he touched my life in many ways directly and indirectly.

    Thank you Steve Jobs, your ideas and vision will be missed.

    Watching the tributes and commentaries helped me realize just how much he touched mine and all of our lives. Amazing how one man could such an influence. Though I too have never met you, I will miss you Steve.

    Watched the re-run of the story about him and Gates last night. Had seen it before, but a long time ago.
