Steve Jobs of Apple Dies at 56 – NYTimes.com.

This is turning into a huge, emotional thing.  Frankly, I kept a couple of his quotes around and looked at them every other day.

Some of the other quotes I reference for inspiration or encouragement come from guys like, I dunno, Socrates. And then there’s Steve Jobs.  He is the most inspiring industrialist of our time. I don’t ordinarily find industrialists all that inspiring – but this guy was just insanely great, right?

I quoted Steve in my last post about him stepping down as CEO. Here’s another one, again from his Stanford commencement address:

“For the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, ‘if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today. And whenever the answer has been ‘no’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
