The RIP Thread...

[stehansen]

Sorry about your brother Che. You're right on Burnham.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Five years ago today.

 

[gf beranek]

Yeah, he was good. I really like the Blokes style.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Five years already....time flies.

 

[vharrison]

I hope his wife and children are healing from their loss. 5 years sometimes is a milestone.

I was ten and lived in the general area (in the same province and within about 15 km of the nearest victim) of this bastard who died today. No RIP for you Clifford, rot in hell.

I agree with you there Paul, crap like that put families through hell for years with their repeated requests for parole.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Lowest of the low. No redemption for that poor excuse for a man.

Apple says Steve Jobs has died - @AP

 

[Mrs.B]

Bummer. 56 years old.

 

[jefflovstrom@sb]

What a guy, sad.

 

[sawinredneck]

Not an Apple fan at all, but we sure wouldn't have a LOT of the things we do now without his vision! A sad day indeed! RIP Steve Jobs!

 

[pigwot]

Steve Job was brilliant in many ways, whether we are Apple fans or not; a great inspiration...

"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
Steve Jobs

 

[Paul B]

Good one Boss, I am going to share that.

 

[pigwot]

I think that came from the Commencement Address he gave at Stanford in 2005:

I have seen a few snippets of that on the recent news reels of his passing, I might have to watch the whole thing, thanks for the link Pat.

 

[stehansen]

I could take that advice. Thanks Steve.

 

[MasterBlaster]

EVERYONE could take that advice.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Things Apple is worth more.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Interesting.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Apparently Apple has a number of products lined up that haven't hit the market as yet. He left the company in good shape.

Al Davis finally croaked. Maybe Da-Raydahs will have a chance with his kid runnin' the program now.

[Dave Shepard]

Did he die in that position, or did they prop him up like that?
