On April 2nd, 2010, I was seated with my colleague and friend Ryan at Caffè Macs in 4 Infinite Loop Cupertino, California. I was 19 years old, an Apple Employee, and this was the eve of the original iPad release. The two-seater table across from us against the large glass windows opening to the west coast sun held host to Steve Jobs and Jony Ive.
Steven, the reverence you so eloquently expressed for the interior courtyard at Apple HQ is akin to what we used to feel when visiting the Bandley Drive building in Cupertino when I was working with Apple in the early years — it was the building where Steve and his team of pirates developed the first Mac. Magical spaces for a talented and visionary team, making things that would make a dent in the universe. Thanks for sharing this indelible memory of yours.
Thank you for this reminder, Steven! Even when I'm only reading your words, I still feel like we're creating something together. Synergy? You've got a gift.

So beautiful Steven. I’m grateful we are friends.
“In one moment, Steve showed me life is about making something wonderful with your friends.”
...how cool would that be to do something so big with a group of your friends...
That was like stepping into a time capsule. I feel like I got let in on a secret.
Make something wonderful with your friends. Wow.
Grateful you continue to push me to make, friend.
Also, that parallel between yellowtail sushi and being the smallest fish in the sea. Wonderful!
