R.I.P. Steve Jobs

A humble tribute to a human being who was made of awesome….

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

~ Steve Jobs [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

“Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

~ Steve Jobs on Impermanence

P.S. Here’s my wife’s tribute on her Facebook page:

“Holding my iPad and iPhone right now. Can’t believe that the person who invented these is gone. Feel frustrated that Francis wouldn’t be able to see him alive. I thank Steve Jobs for making it easy for me as a parent to teach Francis w/ easy accessibility. At his age, he can manipulate his iPad w/o my help, play those educational games, watch his fave movies, everything that you can’t imagine an 18 month old can do. I’m so lucky that I was able to see you alive Steve Jobs. You are a legend!”

And I’m not sorry for it. This thing is just gorgeous! Yeah, the cameras could have been better, but I still love it. iMovie and GarageBand are major selling points for me, as well as the cameras (for FaceTime and Skype).

I won’t spend my time reviewing it here, I’ve already read a lot of reviews and one thing is clear: iPad 2 is a winner. So If you’re looking for a tablet, look no further than the iPad 2.

Here’s something I created last night. The music was composed and mixed with GarageBand. Then I created a simple iMovie transition and uploaded it to Youtube. I’ll have lots of fun creating stuff with this baby.
