I interned at Grooveshark two summers ago; Josh incredibly changed my life for the better. The Summer with the Sharks program was transformative and catapulted me out of Louisiana and into the world of tech. He's such a happy and charismatic personality; the company outings, like going to Disneyworld, are some of my best memories.

Talk about a life gone too soon. I'm pouring one out for Josh tonight.

what part of Louisiana are you from? I don't meet many others from my neck of the woods in tech

Slidell. I went to school at LaTech for a year and a half. I I recently found a fellow Google intern who's from Slidell as well, but we'd never met previously because we went to rival highschools.

Wow, I never thought I'd run into someone else from Slidell on here. Did you go to Northshore High, by any chance?

I went to Slidell High; the other Google intern went to Northshore. And now one more from Slidell. I love how the internet brought us all together even though we were previously so close but didn't know it.

I'm also from Slidell. What a surprise seeing this thread here on HN today. Went to Slidell High, too. Cheers.

Never really expected to see LaTech mentioned on HN … I graduated from there back in 95.
