He wrote about COVID for six years. Someone should compile all those columns into a book or at least a single PDF.

Well, look I don't want to discuss such miserable topics about the man in this context; i'll look elsewhere for understanding

He was a contrarian when it came to tech; I thought he had terrible taste, little sense of what others saw in computation, and little empathy overall; but, he articulated himself well. He was a good writer and occasionally had good jokes. I'll miss him; RIP.

Thanks for the link. His decades of tech columns were so well-served by his skeptic curmudgeon style. There's danger in bringing that persona to all topics, I now see, shown by this regrettable chapter of his blogging life.

I assume, so that his age related dementia and subsequent paranoia can be studied?
