Not sure if you beachcombers ever check out any of the links on my Gull Reef Reads (to your right; no, your other right). If you do, you may have wandered over to visit Rob a/k/a Acidman at Gut Rumbles. I was mostly a lurker there but he was on my everyday reads list (ie RSS). So I was saddened when I recently learned he passed away. I’m not really sure what to say here. When it comes to death on the net, I’ve unfortunately met more people who faked their own deaths (for real, there are some f*?!ed up people out there). But Rob’s death is as real as the raw emotion he presented everyday on his blog. And now he’s gone and I really don’t know what else to say.

Fare thee well, Acidman.
