Cool Tool for Talking about John’s Legacy

Folks have put together a wiki to talk about John Slatin’s legacy. It is a very good idea and worth promoting.

I avoid talking about loss and personal stuff on the blog, mostly because I think I’m miserable at it. It’s a conscious choice, though probably not healthy. So I’ll just say quickly –

I’ve just started remembering the afternoons talking with him in his office, hearing his triple-speed JAWS output and playing ball with an off-duty Dillon. John was a brilliant teacher, technologist and advocate, and an amazing mentor. He dealt with great adversity with patience and kindness; he always blessed me with patience and kindness. I love and miss him very much.
