Just came back from a trip to the Apple store to see what is going on there today. At the closest one to me – the 14th Street and 9th Avenue store – there were three news satellite trucks with attendant reporters, several dozen post-it notes on the doors (which I didn’t get close enough to read but can imagine had tributes written on them) and one dude camped out, waiting for the new iPhone to come out. I wonder how that super-fan felt yesterday when the news broke?

The store was a busy as usual, in other words packed in the middle of a work day, with people walking out carrying laptops and iPhones. I feel like I did the right thing, getting out of the house and visiting a site touched by the inventor who has influenced me so much.
