A beautiful Steve Jobs quote, letterpressed. Here’s to the crazy ones.

Posted by EliteTek on Dec 7, 2011 in Uncategorized

It’s not uncommon to see some of Steve Jobs’ more memorable quotes become memorialized in one fashion or another since his passing. One of the most famous, however, is getting a bit of special treatment, with a good cause gathering the benefits.

The team over at Brightwurks (parent company of TNW-profiled Help Scout) has produced a beautifully-designed letterpress poster of Jobs’ “Here’s to the crazy ones”. Even better? 100% of the sales profits go to benefit the Acumen Fund, a charity helping to tackle poverty.

“The now iconic quote debuted in a 1997 television commercial for Apple Computer. The text was said to have been mostly written by then Apple CEO Steve Jobs. He embodied the characteristics in this quote arguably better than anyone in history. Today it lives on as a mantra for artists, inventors, entrepreneurs and innovators around the world.”

The poster is printed on 140# paper and measures 10 inches wide by 26 inches tall. Unframed, it costs $95, or you can have it framed professionally and sent to you for $195. Unfortunately it’s only available to be shipped to the United States, but perhaps that will change some time in the future as the goal right now seems to be getting them into buyers’ hands before Christmas.

So pony up, get a beautifully-done poster and help out a good cause while you’re at it. Oh, and if you need a reminder, here’s the quote, spoken by the man himself.

For those of you who don’t know this off by heart this post will be a god send!

The reason I’m blogging this little information nugget is due to the fact I’m finding myself searching for the query “Microsoft Remote Assistance URL” every time i need to remote assist any clients / employees.

Until i learn the URL off by heart, this post will be left here as a reminder for myself and others to help reduce the amount of time we waste spamming through Google search.

Putting either one of the below links into Start/Run and then clicking ok or pressing enter will bring you to your desired application. Yes i know this is common knowledge but it should help out a fair few people.
