A Promise for Steve

Steve Jobs passed away yesterday! That was the first thing my husband told me when he came home. I was surprised I was unaware of it till then(it was almost 5 hrs by then). I don't know why but it felt like I lost a loved one. Like someone in the family has passed away. I have'nt known much about him and still dont know much about him. But the kind of products he made had a lot of impact on me.

I read this post from Seth Godin to pay an Euology of action to Steve. I would like to make this as my Euology to Steve. By the end of this year I would like to publish one app on iTunes and would like to become a life long iOS user, learner and developer.

Rest in Peace Steve. You are an inspiration to so many people and your legacy lives on forever.
