    This is extremely touching. I'm not much for mythologizing people, something that has been done to a tremondous degree with Steve Jobs.

    But in reading this eulogy, I just see a meditation on family and love, knowledge and experience, sickness and dying. Character.

    It's an astonishing read...

    "Steve was like a girl in the amount of time he spent talking about love. Love was his supreme virtue, his god of gods. He tracked and worried about the romantic lives of the people working with him."

    This stands out for me. The deification, bullying, great family man stuff I'd known about for years.
    Complex man, has an amazing sister.
