RIP Steve Jobs

"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


I was saddened this evening to hear of the passing of Steve Jobs. In his fifty-six short years on this earth, he contributed a great deal to to lives of ordinary people through his leadership and vision at Apple. By all accounts, Mr. Jobs fought the hard fight in his last battle with pancreatic cancer. His death will leave a large void.

On a happier note, Jacob will be home for Thanksgiving in just two days. I can hardly wait. I am feeling incredibly blessed as this holiday weekend approaches.

Tomorrow Ontarians go to the polls to elect a new provincial government. Whoever you wish to support, please take the time and go cast your vote. The poll numbers are so close that there is barely a breath separating the Liberals and the Tories. Every vote counts in this election. Please make yours one of them.
