Michael Crichton, RIP



I am saddened by the news that Michael Crichton has died of cancer. He was 66.

Crichton is a hero to me because he was a writer, an MD, a Renaissance Man, and tended to share a lot of political viewpoints with myself. His death is a loss because I know he had more projects in the pipeline. That work is now lost.

Crichton was not Shakespeare or Einstein. But he struck me as someone who enjoyed life immensely and had an insatiable curiosity about all things. It really sucks that he is gone. I think his influence will outlive him for a long time to come.
