So we’re working on this project with a company in San Francisco. Details to follow on project, but that’s not the point. The point is that I sent an IM to my contact there with a couple of questions this morning, an IM that remained unanswered for several hours. Around 4:00 I nudged him and he responded “sorry i had a distracting morning” and then he sent me a link to the picture you see there on the left.
His van burned. Everyone safe. Van gone. Best quote of the afternoon:
it didn’t even occur to me that it might be a really bad idea to go back in the burning van to get my laptop
“Rabble,” in an IM to Brendan on 9/26
