heart attack at 34 is quite shocking. I’ve never really visited his site before, until now, there’s some excellent stuff on there. the vintage hardware stuff is definately my cup of tea.

He will be missed. He was one of those people who made the Net fun for me. He really did.

Adding LEDs in Heaven, and I have been calling them stars. Gone at 34, a sobering reminder, that we never know. I wish for his family and friends all the strength they will need. Enjoy your eternity in what has to be a more peaceful place, Mark.

What a shock! I always enjoyed checking geektechnique regularly even if Mark himself didn’t appear to be doing so.

If only we could send all of his gear with him so he can catch up on his great projects. Was he secretly a Viking?

Is it odd that the last song that he listened to that was scrobbled to his last.fm was “Instant Death” By The Beastie Boys? Sure it might have not been the last track he ever listened to but I find it odd.
