If you haven’t already heard, Steve Jobs of Apple resigned today. The quote that truly sums up his contribution (from Gruber’s article):

Jobs’s greatest creation isn’t any Apple product. It is Apple itself

Techcrunch has this nice piece on Steve Jobs-the person (forgive the cliched title). Loved this line:

He’s a buddhist with a temper.

NB : The title of my subject was initially: I wasn’t this sad when Batman died. Then I thought to myself, who are we kidding, Jobs is only resigning and it would be overly melodramatic to compare the two. So I chose Superman :)

lol this is so true. especially like these:

• Carefully composing e-mails to other programmers/mailing lists/non-technical folks
• Digging through public code repositories to see “how [some open source project] does it”
• Figuring out how to shoehorn together codebases that weren’t designed to coexist

if you liked the background score on the parkour video i posted recently, you’ll LOVE this video by the same artist.

its a live recording of the song “Starry Eyes” at -what is probably- a dutch radio show? a youtube commenter has this to say of Ellie Goulding:

I would go see Ellie Goulding live. I’m a straight guy, from Texas. I listen to metal. I’m hardcore. Whatever. She’s a great musician. Her voice alone. If I closed my eyes and listened to her, I’d think I died and I was in Heaven. She could sing me to sleep every day. I’d die happy. Just sayin’.

this dude has a very valid point: this woman’s voice is simply utterly fantastic. enjoy

TechCrunch recently did a video interview of the Dropbox hub. who wouldn’t want to work for a company that has LANs of Starcraft 2, jam sessions, TT Tables, DDR machines and lets you build your own desk (that last one alone is enough to hire some of us nerds).
