    I recently watched a documentary on PIXAIR. I always wondered if it was a coincidence that both Steve Jobs and Randy Pausch both died of pancreatic cancer and both worked at PIXAIR. Come to find out, in the documentary, the first PIXAIR building was located right next to a gas refinery and that even Steve Jobs is quoted as saying that the building was frequently filled with smoke from the refinery and that they evacuated often.

      That’s interesting. I wonder how the other people who worked there are doing.
