I don't know why this particular story makes me cry every time I see it on tv, but it does. Sure, there are lots of other sad, tragic stories out there (Darfur.....Iraq.....) but this one seems just....... I don't know. Sad.

CNet (one of my favorite websites for checking up on things I wanna buy) does a nice tribute to him.

I wonder if the library would be so kind to me under the same circumstances....
