I have been kind of numb to all of the news and posts by people over the death of Steve Jobs. He was a special human being. He was not perfect. TUAW sums up the feelings going through me. I never met Steve Jobs, but I use a piece of his genius everyday in both my daily job, academic pursuits, and my daily life. Geeks all over the world feel a sense of loss. Not just from losing the man, but losing the "what if".
