From our CEO, Max
Thelen:
A year ago October 5th, the creative world lost its de facto leader,
Steve Jobs. There’s been a lot happening this past year, and excitement has
remained high with the launch of the iPhone 5 and new versions of Windows Phone
8, and the Amazon, Nook and other Android devices. While we eagerly await the
launch of Microsoft Surface and other Windows 8 devices, it is clear now that
we have lost a vital force for change in our world. The IOS maps debacle does
not spell the end of Apple by any means, but it serves as a reminder of the
high bar that Steve set for us, which we now miss anxiously.
Each
of us has a moral obligation to advance Steve’s vision. For all the people.
So,
what would Steve do? He would want us all to follow his advice to, "Stay
hungry, Stay foolish!"
Please join Filter on Friday, October 5, in
remembering Steve and paying homage.
What: We invite you to dress like Steve in his
signature jeans and black turtleneck. Then, join us in our public celebration
of the anniversary of Steve’s passing with something really special we have up
our sleeves! Socialize the event by tweeting at us @FILTERDigital using the

Where: Parking Lot directly in front of the University Village Apple Store — 2656 NE University Village Street, Seattle
When: Friday, October 5, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Why: To change the world for just one day in making a
public statement declaring October 5th as Steve Jobs Day!
