“What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them."—Steve Jobs, 1994

Welcome to the Steve Jobs Archive.

Let's make something wonderful.

@clmazin Thought you'd find this Stanford study interesting. https://t.co/VUJJ9HOVLx

Just finished The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by @dawniewalton. Amazing novel—so much to admire, but especially the masterful ending. Got it at the library, but a copy for my own shelf is waiting at the bookstore!

@johnaugust Tiny typo on your Highland site--"you" for "your"

@robreich @StevenLevy Found the quote in TV interview B-roll. Q: "How do you inspire employees starting a new project or exploring a new idea?" A (very off-handedly): "I don't know, 'Don't be encumbered ...'" Recall Noyce himself invented by asking if anything in the physics made an idea impossible.

@johnaugust Thought this Stanford article ("Creativity may suffer when mature projects change hands") would be of interest https://t.co/Ka41mg4cGq

One of the best essays I've ever read. Hats off to @jenseniorny https://t.co/j4RytdG0YA

NYT loves @margaretomara's Silicon Valley History, THE CODE--and rightfully so! https://t.co/5Jzh6JWy3F

Many thanks for the kind words and suggestions in response to my NYT op-ed about my mom. Some asked where to donate in her honor. @HIASrefugees does good work now and also rescued my mom's mom from Nazi Germany, as I wrote about here: https://t.co/VXW2WYdHWz

I wrote a piece for the NY Times privacy project about hacking my mom's online accounts after she died in a car accident over Thanksgiving weekend. @susanthesquark was the excellent editor https://t.co/zv4iPdorTb

"It's Foxy to Have Your Own Computer." Has there ever been a more 1970s computer ad than this all-text beauty? (And yes, those are prices.)

Wow—I didn’t know this! An important reminder of the diversity of places and people that built the high-tech world.

[Leslie Berlin @LeslieBerlinSV]

@hannah6351 Thanks for the question! I typically use that site just for my Silicon Valley writing. Do you think I should add that piece?
