Shawn Blanc:

All these Steve Jobs articles, stories, photos, and tributes which are surfacing right now are not in the slightest way redundant. I am reading and enjoying so many of them. They are our way of saying thank you to Steve Jobs. We, the Mac nerds, are thankful for the careers and hobbies he gave us.

It’s amazing to me how so many in this community — the indie devs, designers, writers, et al. — have a story about our first Mac or about a nervous encounter we had with Steve Jobs. We love what we do, we’re proud to use Apple products, and we’re thankful for the careers and hobbies that we have been able to build up thanks to Steve’s Apple.

For those who felt nothing in the passing of Steve Jobs are (most likely) people who hasn’t owned – and won’t buy – an Apple product. And those who make fun of the people all over the world for being affected, can’t understand why. Don’t mind these people because those who belong in this 3rd-Party Family knows better.
