I know everyone’s talking about the loss of Steve Jobs, but wasn’t he amazing? Didn’t he do and say some pretty brilliant things. I am yet to listen to his TEDtalk or his University speech, so I plan on doing that this weekend. I was devastated to hear that he was so sick back in August. Shocked actually. And then so sad to hear of his passing yesterday. Thanks for being such an inspiration Steve, from one geek to another.
I’ve heard a lot of great quotes from Steve, but this is one of my favourites – so I made it up into a poster on my iPhone. It seemed like the geeky thing to do. xx
“Your time is limited..don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
I hadn't heard that til yesterday but it really resonated with me.
Perfect demonstration of geeky admiration! Now tell me how to make things into posters!

You're right, he has so many great quotes. My favourite is “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Oops that was long!
When I became an IT journalist, all I wanted was to be his mistress.
I can't even begin to describe the ways his genius has enhanced my life x
I love Not Quite Nigella's quote! I watched the TED video for the first time a few days ago. If you listen hard enough, it could change your life.
I kinda read it as being if you don't eat enough food, you're a fool. That's my interpretation anyway. 😉
