Farewell Steve Jobs

There have been many obituaries for Steve Jobs today (for example here) and I am not going to add my laboured prose to that list, except to note:

As a nerd I thank Steve Jobs for making nerd-dom cool.

Here are some videos, featuring Jobs and Apple.

Unveiling the Macintosh, 1984

Commencement address, Stanford, 2005.

(Although this is longer than the other vids, he discusses how he found out about the cancer that eventually took his life.)

Here's to the crazy ones.

Here is a list of the people featured in the video:

Albert Einstein, smoking a pipe
Bob Dylan, moving to his harmonica
Martin Luther King, at the end of his Washington speech
Richard Branson, shaking champagne
John Lennon and Yoko Ono singing
Buckminster Fuller demonstrating the Bucky Ball
Thomas Edison thinking
Mohammed Ali dancing for the press
Ted Turner boxing the air with a smile
Maria Callas blowing a kiss
Mahatma Gandhi smiling
Amelia Earhart arriving
Alfred Hitchcock speaking
Martha Graham dancing
Jim Henson puppeteering
Frank Lloyd Wright walking by his home

A child dreaming
