That’s too bad. One of my favorite stories of his was of some cowboys who tried to rope a cow that was in an above ground pool from a dingy.
From memory: “…And when the boat was no longer landworthy…”
Ken Knowlton, pioneer of computer art who also created the first digitized nude. (Link includes a picture that contains the framed original of the nude. Should be safe for work because (1) the picture is art, and (2) it’s 1966 line printer art so we’re not talking HD nipple rendering here.)
Also…
Michael Stenger has died.
trying to picture him standing at the Pearty Gates
Just back from a vacation. Lots of folks dying but appears to be no picks. We are half-way through 2022 so please check your lists.

He was pretty cool. For an awful lot of kids, this is going to be a defining event of their childhood: the nature of youtube is these people feel like friends. And he was very talented. Funny, self-deprecating, very good at Minecraft. Major Youtube star by his mid-teens
My son watched him a lot. I found him funny and clever, and his cancer updates were really well done.
First points of the year!

Six months in - nada - old wrestlers - CTE - steroids - ring injuries - COVID - dementia. They should be dropping like flies. I think they are all dancing around somewhere in the Caribbean getting younger. You’re welcome.
No points for this one, but I think he deserves a mention, last month we lost the creator of Duckman.
