“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.” – Steve Jobs
When I sit at my desk, I stare at an Apple Display, hooked to a 2008 Mac Pro.
The phone rings. I pull out the iphone…I have to make an appointment.
My son walks into my office listening to HipLife on his ipod touch…singing along.
I yell at him to be quiet. I hang up and go to iTunes to check out a cool new app and download “The Nutcracker Suite” for my daughter’s music class.
Then I create a home movie I made with iMovie and scan some negatives I developed.
The files are huge but with 16 Gb of RAM in my MacPro, it’s a breeze.
The kids want to watch a movie. I turn on the Apple TV…oh, peace and quiet.
I lie down, whip out my Ipad…have to catch up on the news – WSJ, NYT, Washington Post, Facebook – right there..
My medical literature – right there…
My pictures…right there…
The Vision, the Beauty, the Sleekness, the Style How much can one man achieve in 56 years?
What could have been?
Steve Jobs, we owe you a lot – not just for the devices, but for a life that teaches
That teaches that one should seize the moment and follow the call of the heart.
You will be missed!
Rest in Peace
In iHeaven!
