STEVE JOBS, THANK YOU

Today, we are are all truly at a loss for words right now. They will come, though, and when they do, I will leave them in the comments below.

I believe it may be a great tribute if you share your thoughts on how Steve Jobs has impacted all of our lives, and to talk about what he and his work meant to you personally. I know I’ll find it cathartic (and inspiring!) to read in the days to come, and I’m sure others will, too.

These are the first I have received that really impacted me:

i don’t know where to begin. what wouldn’t be different in my life had not steve jobs been with us, and even for such a short time?

i wouldn’t have had my career in advertising, surrounded and encouraged by creativity all day long.

i wouldn’t have been able to start my blog.

i wouldn’t have met all the wonderful people in my life i know today – not the people i’ve met through the blog, flickr, twitter, and beyond.

i wouldn’t have met people i fell in love with, and had deep meaningful relationships.

i wouldn’t have found either of my dogs, both of whom i found on the internet.

it goes on and on. steve jobs changed my world forever, and i am deeply saddened for his children, his family and for the loss to all of us of a genuine pioneer and innovator.

I’m not sure there are words to fully express his impact on modern culture. He was a truly exceptional & brilliant individual. All I can think is to express my eternal gratitude for changing my life. The world has been robbed, he will be greatly missed – rest in peace.
