Our field owes him a great debt for pushing us forward, even when we didn't want to. RIP Steve.

This is the second time a death of somebody I haven't met have upset me. The first time it was Layne Staley, lead singer of Alice in Chains. I guess both Steve Jobs and Layne Staley have created beautiful work that inspired me.
