I woke up to the news of Steve this morning. More accurately I was asleep and may partner (who was up) woke me to tell me. It’s not often I feel overly saddened by the death of someone in the limelight. It is sad whenever someone dies but at the back of my mind I always remember something Eddie Izzard said in a gig after Diana died. It was along the lines of “My mum died when I was young and no one gave a shit”. It wasn’t a slur on Diana but making the point that people die all the time. I am deeply sad today and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shed some tears in bed as I was looking at other peoples tweets, posts and comments about Steve. My tweet, before I read anything else, was simply “RIP Steve Jobs. Whatever your views on Apple, the man was a visionary genius.” This, however, moved me most. The picture says it all but the words are spot on. cultm.ac/pmasYA I do remain fully confident that good ship Apple will continue to innovate and improve without Steve at the helm. Quick edit to add this quote from Steve: Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
