Brian Lam’s account of Steve Jobs

On the Gizmodo iPhone leak:

“Hi, this is Steve. I really want my phone back.”

He wasn’t demanding. He was asking. And he was charming and he was funny. I was half-naked, just getting back from surfing, but I managed to keep my shit together.

The single best remembrance piece I’ve read on Jobs.

ifttt

The site’s name stands for if this then that. Replace this with a action performed on a popular online service and that with a task to perform on another service, and ifttt makes it happen. For example: if i get a new email labelled “urgent” in Gmail then send me a text message.

I’m having one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments. A genius service.
