For those of you who have spent a lot of time around me lately, you are probably getting tired of my updates on the Steve Jobs biography. You could care less that he didn't shower often because he thought his diet of apples and carrots would keep malodor at bay. The fact that he walked around the office barefoot a good deal of the time simply grosses you out. And his relationship with Bill Gates and Microsoft is really none of your concern. From what I've told you, you probably think the guy is an asshole, and quite frankly, he was. So why do people like him so much? What has made me continue turning the pages - probably as quickly as any book I've read since the Hunger Games? It's a perfectly valid question - and one that, as I pass the halfway point, I'm still trying to answer.
Today, I think I got it.
