“ There is much grief let loose today because we grieve for what we have lost, what the world has lost, what business, technology has lost. A purely selfish and personal reaction. I join in in that grief. But really this is a day to wipe off those selfish tears and to celebrate a life well lived on so many planes —- Visionary Inspiration Technologist Marketer Ad guy CEO —- best ever and he got fired! Example of the nobility of business Best turnaround guy —- ever The ultimate first, second, third and fourth “acts” The best industrial design —- ever On so many levels, Jobs was not just good —- he was #1. NUMBER ONE! And absent almost any personal self aggrandizement. He did it because it needed doing and he could. In a black mock turtle neck, black jeans and a graying beard —- this guy changed the world for all time and made it look like a walk in the fucking park. I grieve not, I celebrate! I celebrate with the fury reserved for a life so well lived that we cannot even begin to catalog the planes of excellence upon which this guy operated. Godspeed! ”
