OMG. I saw this on Twitter & thought it wasn't true (because Twitter says people are dead all the time when they're not.)

My husband told me this earlier this evening. It really shook him up because his uncle has been fighting pancreatic cancer for over a year now.

I've been feeling horrible about this all night. Deep down inside, I felt that things weren't looking good for him when he resigned. I hope he left happy memories with his family.

We're glad to have had him among us for a while. Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.

I took this photo earlier in the evening:

It's because of Steve Jobs that I am completely unable to work out, wait in the Dr's office waiting room, fly, study, fall asleep, get ready to go out, go to the salon, or wake up in the morning without my two little white earbuds and that little purple rectangle.

Also, my sorority sister tweeted this pic of the makeshift memorial outside of the the San Francisco Apple store where she lives. Those are hundreds of sticky notes on the window from Apple lovers saying "thanks, Steve." :(

My brother was at Oracle Open world when the news came out, he said it was amazing how everyone started getting the news on their iPhones and then all the conversations were focused on Steve Jobs. Rest in Peace.

I saw that.

I had to laugh when I saw that one of the protesters posted on T_witter via her iPhone

I just read that - Ol' Marge said it's because he didn't use his products to glorify God which is a strange reason but whatever. It's not about God with Westboro anyway, but about their own publicity and glory.

Well, at least they are out of Kansas for a few days.

Xidelt, I am sorry to hear this.
I told DH about it and he was shocked that Steve lasted that long with pancreatic cancer since it takes you pretty damn quick.

DH's mom lasted 15 months and we thought THAT was a long time (she opted NOT to have chemo or any treatment since it was pretty far advanced)

After he stepped down, I told my fiance that I wouldn't be surprised if he died within the month. I would have been okay being wrong about that. :(

Well, you kindof were. He stepped down at the end of August.

I generally don't like technology (the technology that I use is considered basic and boring LOL) but I appreciate what Jobs did for technology.

NPR was playing one of Jobs' speeches/lectures today. It was quite interesting but I stopped listening because the "I dropped out of the college early and then attended only the classes that interested me/I slept on friends' couches/I became a billionaire..." subtheme annoyed me after a while.
