Apple co-founder, former CEO and visionary, Steve Jobs, passed away. He was 56. Ugh. I am so sad to hear this news. :(

Apple posted this on their website:

Steve Jobs said it best at a commencement speech he gave to Stanford University in 2005 (a year after he got diagnosed with cancer), “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

R.I.P.


About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    What an amazing legacy he has. He, quite literally, changed the world…making it both smaller in terms of being able to communicate with people around the world, and bigger by giving people access to places and people they would never have met twenty or thiry years ago.

    May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones rejoice in knowing how many people Mr. Jobs touched in such a positive way.

    The word genius gets bandied about way too much in our society, but this man personified the word for me. Amazing commitment, amazing vision, amazing legacy.

    I always had a huge crush on him, and thought he was the most fascinating man in the world. Thanks, Steve, for making the world better, in spite of all your personal demons.

    @cattyfan I know, right? It feels like one of those things that makes everybody automatically a little bit older.

    There’ll be so many movies about his life now, and books.

    If you go look at a baby right now, they’ll learn about him in their history class, and we’ll be the ones going well I remember when that happened etc, and you know he spoke at your grandma’s graduation or whatever, and they’ll say no way, because they’ll think of him like we think of Einstein and people like that.
