RIP Steve Jobs

DeWitt Clinton once wrote

What are the hallmarks of a great engineer? A great engineer is characterized by their intelligence, versatility, creativity, loyalty, passion, experience, vision, dedication, composure, humility, and ability.

Apart from the “humility” part, which he never cared for, Steve Jobs was the epitome of that description. We shall miss you Mr. Jobs, especially for that keen sense of doing something perfectly.

RIP Steve Jobs, the maker of beautiful things.

 

Me == sad today :(

Worldwide Photowalk 2011

Last weekend, I went to my first photo-walk in Vancouver. This one is a yearly affair, organized by Scott Kelby. It’s called the Worldwide Photowalk (#WWPW), and it was quite exciting. This was the fourth such event (and my first). I met a lot of very interesting people of varied backgrounds. Can’t wait for the next one.

Flickr groups for the photo-walk are:

Thanks to Scott Kelby for starting such a wonderful thing, and letting it grow. This was as exciting as last year’s Barcamp
