Gruber has changed his background to be a little darker than his normal background colour. Fitting; I think.


That's new.

I agree, that's completely fitting.

Strange how it makes the site harder to read. No, wait, those are the tears beginning to well up in my eyes again.


similarly, HN has a black band at the top now.


What a life < he said it perfectly

Odd. I read his entry and immediately thought "Perfectly succinct."

On a day when every second Tweet, 95% of the HN front page, every news source, etc is completely saturated and so many are dredging up Jobs-related inspiration (speeches, images, lists and facts) in either memory or for karma play, sometimes you don't have to say much but summarise what you feel right then and there.


I share these thoughts exactly. It's nice for someone to step back from the noise...


100% of the HN front page now.


I am sure he has more to say. Given it has only been a couple of hours a deep eulogy isn't something I wouldn't have been worrying about if I was him.
