Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs has died after a long battle with cancer. I can't say I'm particularly plugged into the technical aspects of what he accomplished, but as a lifelong Mac and Apple user, I have to acknowledge that his genius, his innovation and his aesthetic and design sense helped impact my life. Not in a particularly profound way, but just because my computer is pretty awesome.

He will be missed.

UPDATED: Here's the text of his 2005 Commencement Speech at Stanford. Worth reading, I think.
