MacWorld Brings Back Steve Jobs

Sometimes its the little things that warm my heart. In January, many of us hoped to see Steve Jobs on stage as the keynote for the MacWorld event. We decided to show our support by making “Bring Back Steve Jobs” posters and passing them out the morning of the keynote.

Today a very cool time lapse video by Peter Belanger showing the making of a MacWorld cover circulated around our office.

Then, someone noticed that at about two minutes into the video, as he is walking down the hall at MacWorld magazine, posted in the middle of the glass wall of someone’s office is one of the “Bring Back Steve Jobs” posters we had created. Made me smile to think someone is still enjoying the posters and thoughts.
