App Friday: Let’s Keep Inventing

How do you pay tribute to an individual whose products engineer possibilities for millions of people around the globe? It’s not an easy thing to do. If you’ve turned on the news, radio, computer or iPad over the last 24 hours, images of Steve Jobs are streaming from all directions. I’m not here to give you another image. I’m here to to shine a light on technology that resonates with families. App Friday is a way we can encourage developers to carry on creative visions…to continue inventing. Meanwhile, I’d like to think that Steve is already busy on his next project: Reinventing Heaven. Take heart – “think different” – and join us as we feature products that wouldn’t be possible without his contributions.
