Steve Jobs Death and Tutorial


As some of you are aware, Steve Jobs passed away on October 5th. Steve was co-creator of Apple, Pixar, and creator of NeXT. He has changed how we do everything in our daily lives. He invented the iPod, the personal computer, the iPad, the iPhone, computer animated movies, and so much more. Steve can easily be compared to someone like Thomas Edison or Henry Ford. He was an incredible visionary, and a great mind. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew what he did and for getting things done. He was a great inspiration to me, and will be a huge impact in my life as I move on. Steve, we will miss you.

“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.” -Steve Jobs
