This absolutely needs to be read by anyone here speaking of this man like some kind of tech god
He was a gossip, gadfly, observer, and tinkerer who also wrote well (for his audience).
Like Dvorak and others, twas just a bit of entertainment, until it wasn't.
Thoroughly enjoyed his works (warts and all), learned a few things, and remain deeply disappointed that NerdTV didn't become a thing.
