One of the Great Ones
Jef Raskin has passed away. He died of cancer last night.
Who is Raskin, you ask?
Raskin is probably the person who has had the most influence on your daily life with out you ever having heard of him. In the early 1980s, Raskin started a project at Apple Computer which he later named for his favorite apple, The Macintosh. That computer, along with Raskin's Human Interface Desgin guidelines, made computing accessible to everyday people.
Jef Raskin was one of the Great Ones. He will be missed.
