Goodnight, Steve.

Steve Jobs and wife Laurene at his last keynote address.

I am finding myself surprisingly emotional about the passing of Steve Jobs. Not simply because we are a dyed-in-the-wool Apple family and ol' Steve helped make our lives easier, or even because he was an iconic figure of our century. I'm sad to lose such a brilliant mind, and just a plain decent human being.

Of all that has been written about Steve Jobs recently, I haven't seen anything that has touched me more than this blog post written by a neighbor, Lisen Stromberg. Please note that it was written more than a month before he passed away. Not a eulogy, but a tribute to a good man:

My neighbor, Steve Jobs.
