Steve Jobs passed away today. This is sad news to me, indeed.

I’ve been using Apple computers since they came out in the ’80’s. I first owned a little box of magic from Apple, like the one in the picture, and it was life-changing! I remember what a revolution they were! As a writer laying out my own text, there were things I could do with an Apple Macintosh computer that I could do with no other computer at the time.

Steve Jobs and Apple Computers really lead the way for many of the tools we use now, everyday. So many things bear Steve’s legacy, but let’s not forget his powerful words as well:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

Did you read the comic books/graphic novels The Adventures of Tintin as a youngster? I know I spent many hours pouring over the fantastic world I found contained within them, made by Herge!

The first one is due out this December and is directed by Stephen Spielberg, with music by John Williams! The second one is to be directed by Peter Jackson.

I’m excited! (I’ll clarify that further: I’m eager to see the films and curious about the state of the motion-capture art.) The US poster, shown below, holds promise. Viva HERGE! Viva Tintin!

Wow, 2011 already! I think it’s going to be a great year!

I’m looking forward to doing some more video work and getting a large project finished this year: my documentary GOTH:insideOUT. Also, I want to get my novel out to the world this year – it’s a science-fact/fiction novel called “SKINJOBS” which is written, I’m now editing it to be distributed as an ebook/print book and will be recording an audio book of it as well for release this year.

So, look for those from me soon!

Have a great year!

He’s a pioneer of sampling and the audio cut-up with Plunderphonics, most famously with the Michael Jackson reworking of Bad – “Dab”, Negativland, U2, William S. Burroughs, etc.

I caught his talk in Toronto in October 2010, at the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD).

Sorry for the bad audio, as it was noisy in there and he was not lav’d.
