Honestly, it’s hard to know whether to stay in the routine or not after news of Steve Jobs’ passing. It is impossible to understate his brilliance, it’s impossible to accurately convey it in any manner. So, leaving aside any intro, I just want to pass along this video of Steve sharing his knowledge with Stanford’s graduating class in 2005. It’s excellent.

With that, here are today’s posts.
