Last night PBS premiered a documentary on Steve Jobs called “Steve Jobs – One Last Thing.” I missed it as I was not yet home but it sounds great. From PBS:
“…Steve Jobs – One Last Thing not only examines how his talent, style and imagination have shaped all of our lives, but the influences that shaped and molded the man himself. The documentary takes an unflinching look at Jobs’ difficult, controlling reputation and through interviews with the people who worked closely with him or chronicled his life, provides unique insight into what made him tick. Among those interviewed for the film are Ronald Wayne, co-founder of Apple Computer, Co. with Jobs and Steve Wozniak; Bill Fernandez, who is credited with introducing Jobs to Wozniak and was also Apple Computer’s first employee; Robert Palladino, calligraphy professor at Reed College whose classes Jobs acknowledged with inspiring his typography design for the Apple Mac; Walt Mossberg, who covered Jobs as the principal technical journalist for The Wall Street Journal; Dean Hovey, who designed the mouse for Apple; Robert Cringley, who interviewed Jobs for his documentary Triumph of the Nerds; and Dr. Alvy Smith, co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, which Jobs acquired in 1986.”

The documentary also has a never before seen interview with Steve Jobs himself filmed a year after he was diagnosed with cancer. Upset that you missed it? I am. Fear not though. According to my search PBS is going to be re-airing the documentary about four times a day over the next few days, maybe even longer. You can find your listings by going to the following website to find when it will be on your local PBS channel.
