Steve Jobs died here in Silicon Valley yesterday. Here’s a photo of Steve Jobs’ house in Palo Alto on 6th October 2011 my daughter took today as I was driving. A small group of people and flowers were outside the main gate.
For most of us living i
n and around Palo Alto, we know that Steve Jobs lived in relative modesty. In May 2010, I saw Steve Job at CVS Pharmacy at Town & Country on El Camino Real. He was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt with runners. No frills, airs or graces. Just a humble person. He didn’t wear a watch.
My kids had a dental appointment today at 10am this morning, 1 mile from Steve Jobs house. On the way back, I drove them down Waverly Street, Palo Alto where Steve Jobs house is located. It’s on the corner of Santa Rita Avenue.
As Anneliese shot a video on her Apple iPhone4, it seems like only yesterday, I was typing away on the Apple IIe in Melbourne, Australia as a 15 year old.
It all happened so fast. Perhaps that’s why he never wore a watch?
