RIP Steve Jobs
Oct. 5th, 2011 10:18 pmIt says everything that needs to be said when someone at the knitting store looked at her iphone and announced the news to us, that when I came home I dialed up the Apple website on my ipad, and that I showed it to M while she was syncing her ipod.
That I'm typing this on that ipad. That if I wasn't, I'd be typing it on Windows, which was created to emulate the Apple interface. That I write software manuals explaining how to use a GUI.
And if I was relaxing, I'd be knitting while listening to an audiobook, a format Neil Gaiman has said was dying until ipods resurrected them. Or I'd be listening to a podcast. Or maybe writing to one of my friends from Staggering Stories, who I met through their podcast.
Steve Jobs created the world I live in and the tools I use.
