Of you watch they keynote there is a seat in the front row that had a reserved flag on it.
I don't think I need to say who it was meant for. :(
I feel sick.

Apple and Steve lighted my life and my family's life in so many odd, quirky, funny, cool and savvy ways and joy of the Steve-o-sphere has been a theme for many years. I remember thinking on Tuesday that the new iPhone rollout just didn't have the same bang without Steve Jobs on stage. His passing makes the world a little less friendly somehow. I can't believe I am crying.
