It’s strange. I don’t usually get saddened that much when a famous person dies.

However, I’ve been very sad for more than a day since I saw the news.  I am not even a big user of the Apple products.  Just one iPhone, that’s it.  It is a strange feeling.  Somehow, it felt like I lost someone I knew.

And that made me stop by at the Apple headquarter in Cupertino on my way home today.  One Infinite Loop is less than 10 minutes from where I live, but I haven’t been to this place until today.

I’ve been thinking about the source my sadness.  The way that he led his life, the way he followed his heart, the way he believed in himself has been a huge inspiration for me.  And we lost that that guy yesterday.  Good bye, Steve.

Hi everyone!

My name is Phil Yoon, and this is my first blog ever (except the tweets and the facebook updates, of course).  I plan to write mostly about venture capital, entrepreneurship, hi-tech industries, and other personal interests in life.  I go back and forth between Silicon Valley and Korea, working as a VC.  On the Korea-related topics, I will probably write in English, while I’ll use Korean for the Silicon Valley stuff.  This is to help to target my readers.  Regardless of contents, I may switch the language whenever I feel like doing so.  I welcome your comments and feedback.  Hope you enjoy my blog.

안녕하세요.

태어나서 블로그는 처음 해봅니다. 주로 벤처캐피탈, 기업가정신, 하이텍산업등에 관해 쓸 예정이고, 가끔 신변잡기 이야기도 할 것 같네요. 지금은 미국 실리콘 밸리에서 VC로 일하고 있는데, 일관계로 한국에 자주 출장가고 있습니다.  한국과 관련된 주제는 영어로 쓸 예정이고, 반대로 실리콘 밸리에 관련된 이야기는 한글로 쓸 작정입니다.  독자층을 타게팅하기 위함이니 양해 바랍니다.  여러분들의 댓글 환영이고요 (상대방에 대한 예의는 꼭 지킵시다)  좋은 글, 도움이 되는 글이 되기위해 노력하겠습니다.
