In my mind Jobs was the kind of guy that soils his sneakers while running, not while peacefully walking.
The image painted by Gruber here is a kitschy one - and kitschy is probably the adjective least fitting to Jobs and his creations.
- glhaynes 15y agoJobs famously would take people on walks and talk with them.
- bgarbiak 15y agoI didn't mean that literally. All I'm saying is that a hypothetical portrait of Jobs I would made would be closer the today's apple.com welcome page: simple, elegant, almost raw and in some magical way both sterile and emotive - like most of the Apple's products. 'A melancholic, warm family photo took in a sunny day' seems like a thing from a different culture - but maybe Jobs privately was closer to that picture. Certainly Gruber knows better than me.
- bmelton 15y agoThat is of course contradicted by the many, many tales of how much Steve Jobs enjoyed walking, and in particular, walking for long distances.
