But, I am saddened. The departure of such a pivot human being so effecting to the way many of us live everyday is a profound event. What a creative mind. How innovative. What a gift we had.<\/p>\n<p>MacIntosh, Pixar, iPod&#8230;and so on probably touched your world too.<\/p>\n<p>The man had 317 patents (see a list and visuals <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2011\/08\/24\/technology\/steve-jobs-patents.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), and forever altered not just personal computing, but telephone communication, media, the music industry, computer animation\/movies, and how we encounter the internet. There&#8217;s an App for everything, but now there is no App for missing him. iMourn was the headline on one major online news source, and worldwide Twitter Trends yesterday and today included #ThankYouSteveJobs, #iSad, #ThinkDifferent, #Pixar and more in tribute to him.<\/p>\n<p>I remember using the 1984 MacIntosh, the first product to make Personal Computers truly accessible to regular people.\u00a0The first Mac I could buy myself was a 7100, with money from a school loan. Graphic Designers are schooled on Macs. We enjoy Apple products. We get loyal, and admire the continual creativity and innovation of a man and a company that doesn&#8217;t settle or rely on pilfering products and ideas from other companies to keep going. One word describes Jobs, and really a large part of the American spirit: Innovation!<\/p>\n<p><strong>My prayers go to his family and friends. He leaves behind his wife of 20 years, Laurene, and their\u00a03 children: Reed, Erin, and Eve. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He will be very missed by a great many around the globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have a favorite Apple product?
