As 2011 draws to a close and 2012 comes upon us... I would like to insert the event of losing Steve Jobs as the most impactful story that crossed my life this past year. Welcome to the memory bank Steve, you were here before and you will forever remain.

More on this from me to come at a later date...

For now you can consume these.

Happy Happy Joy Joy.

I have yet to read the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. I will some day – but in the meantime I do enjoy reading reviews of the life of Steve Jobs.

After 2 and a half years of “Hit me on my pre-pay!” and GoPhone calculator simplicity… I have finally stepped back into the iPhone world. I can honestly say that I haven’t missed being technical, the trendy factor of owning Apple devices definitely pushed me away from playing in this arena for a while – But now I’m back.

Here is a nice little iPhone background that I found from Sonny Dickson.

Now that I have an iPhone in the pocket again – it is time to randomly geek out again.
Let’s start simple.

Enjoy.

How to simplify Apple’s product offerings. Zone in on the simplification of 1996 – the welcome back Steve Jobs era. The pop chart is not completely complete… but definitely interesting.

I remember when the first time I saw the TV ad, back when it first came out.

It changed my life.

It was the first commercial I’d ever seen in my life, that actually spoke to me, my true self, and not just to, like pretty much EVERY SINGLE OTHER COMMERCIAL out there, whatever short-term, trivial needs I had going on that day.

It was then I knew that I wasn’t just one of the crazy ones, but that it was also IMPERATIVE to actually be one of the crazy ones. That my life and soul demanded it.

It’s not what Steve Jobs created in his his brief but incandescent life- the computers, iPods, iPhones etc etc- that isn’t the big story.

And what we created with his his products, that isn’t the big story, either.

The big story is what Steve helped us believe about ourselves. By putting his balls on the line, again and again, he made it easier for us to do the same.

And so we did.

Thank you, Steve. You will be missed. Of course you frickin’ will…

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email rememberingsteve@apple.com

I can’t really say how I feel right now… Cheers to Steve Jobs – and thank you for giving me a frame to build my life *around* – It is a sad day. You have already and will seriously be missed :(
