Damn.

It was his world we lived lived in. He was a magician who turned technology into joy.

I recall bringing the first Mac into an office filled with IBM PCs... and watching people's expressions as they moved icons around the screen for the first time instead of typing c:\payfile\comsum > c:\bullcrap (or something like that). I knew then that I was watching the future of personal computing.

Then came the iPod, iPhone and iPad... yeah, we had Walkmans, cell phones and tablets... but Steve Jobs transformed them into magical works of art.

As Steve once asked Pepsi's John Scully... "Do you want spend your life peddling sugar water or do you want to change the world?" Steve changed the world.

That world has lost a genius. While thankful for having experienced his visions, one can only wonder what the next 20 years would have wrought had he lived a life in full....

Steven Jobs has died.
