A beautiful piece of eulogising by Steve Jobs' sister Mona Simpson, made all the more poignant by the strikingly intimate details of the life and death of such a private man.
I don't make a habit of browsing obituaries, but I think this one stands out. Not just because its in many ways beautiful, and a testament to the life of a great man. But also because it gives us, the "rest of us", a small glimpse into the real life of a man whom we supposed we knew everything about, but in reality knew almost nothing of, past the professional achievements and workplace anecdotes.
A worthwhile read and a brief story of a life accurately summed up by the final sentence of his eulogy.
Wow. RT @AustinBloggy [...] the video from Saturday night’s @mondonews screening of DAWN OF THE DEAD at Highland Mall http://t.co/NqsA372w
