God be with Jef Raskin


February 27th: This is the most emotional entry on this website I have ever done. Inventor, vissionary and genius Jef Raskin passed away on Saturday. He died of cancer at the age of 61. Jef Raskin was on the original Macintosh team and was of the first 50 employees of the company. He was behind every aspect of the Mac's GUI interface and set the blueprints for how we use the Mac today, even the one button mouse. My condolences to his family and friends. I had the utmost privilage of meeting him a few times. We exchanged emails and I looked to him for career advice. I respect his achievements in the personal and professional life. God bless you Mr. Raskin.

Sincerely,
Adam Jackson

In another note, the ammount of Mac news sites covering the news is very few and is insulting for a man that has done so much for the world of computing. You owe him a few words and I am ashamed that I affiliate with some of these websites.
