After some heaving searching today, I was able to track down a copy of the 2005 Macworld Keynote featuring Steve Jobs and our wedding video. It’s not the greatest quality, but you get a chance to see our wedding as well as Mr. Jobs speak about the new iMovie HD.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to blog about anything, but I thought I would take a few moments today to say thank you to Steve Jobs for all he has given us as a society.

Although I never knew Mr. Jobs personally, the works of Apple had a profound impact on my life and is indirectly responsible for where I am today. From my first Mac LC, to the amazing Quad-Core MacBook Pro with Dual Thunderbolt Displays, I’ve been an Apple fan-boy through and through.

My closest encounter with Steve Jobs was when he showed my wedding video during his 2005 keynote at Macworld. We had just gotten married a few weeks before in Hawaii and Apple had sent a crew out to film our happy day, although we didn’t know at the time how it was going to be used. To seem him on stage showing a 30 second clip of my wedding promoting Final Cut Express HD was one of the crowning moments of my tech life. Here is a picture from the keynote.

So with that, I would like to bid a fond farewell to a true American icon and business legend. May you ride off into that digital sunset with endless playlists and free wifi. You have changed the world for the better.

It’s a sad day.  Apple has announced that it is severing ties with the Macworld Expo that has become synonymous with hot new Apple products.  The first two weeks of the new year were always the most exciting for me.  Spending my time on Mac Rumors, trying to speculate what fantastic new product was being released.  I would even go so far as to follow live Twitter feeds announcing what Mr. Jobs had just delivered to the world.

I have a long history with Apple and its products.  From my first Mac LC, to the latest dual quad-core Mac Pro, the Apple brand has been a part of me.  One of the highlights of my life was having our wedding shot by Apple and then subsequently shown by Steve Jobs in the 2005 keynote.  For a geek like me, it doesn’t get any better.  

While I understand the concept behind moving away from the “Steve Jobs Show”, I will miss the excitement and anticipation of everything that Macworld brings.

Me, my Wife, and Steve Jobs.  Does life get any better?
