I miss Bob. Kurt Vonnegut, too. It's been a sadder world without them.

Thank you, David. This clip was a joy to behold.

Alan has been a beacon for the next generation of mental self-programmers. No amount of thanks could express how much positivity, self reflection and inspiration he has brought to my life and the lives of those around me.

Bob, you gave us so much; not the least of which being very large shoes to fill. I expect to see "R.A.W." scrawled on the sign post for the 32nd path.

Thanks for the bread crumbs guys. :)

There's a <br. tag right before "Previously:" that's screwing up the rest of the Boing Boing page in Internet Explorer 7.

Every time I remember that he's gone, it still hurts. Someone with that much love of life should be with us forever. I am glad he's out of pain now, though, and hopefully getting to explore what's past this existence.

We miss you Bob.
