It’s easy to gush more wonderful adulation to Steve Jobs, but there’s a far better tribute to be made: start something.

A friend said tonight that it’d been a moving day. But he was also inspired when he thought of Jobs and the founding of Apple and Pixar. So inspired in fact that he registered two companies that he and his team had been talking about for months. These companies will move from mothballed thoughts to job-creating realism.

This is what our dire economy needs: innovation, inspiration and action (and perhaps that £75 billion in Q.E.).

Thanks for the virtuoso performance, Steve.
