TWiT Live Special :: Tribute and Remembrance of Steve Jobs

TWiT Live Logo

I had the privilege of watching this coverage last night, and the parade of journalists, fans, and technologists that came on the show to share their thoughts and insight on the life and passing of Steve Jobs was on-tone, on-point, elegant, and well well done.

There are a lot of articles and a lot of tributes and a lot of news about Steve Jobs’ passing yesterday, but the TWiT crew handled the news, his memory, and remembering him with a very special grace that’s more than worth watching. I hope you’ll tune in.
