I remember interviewing James for a podcast I used to produce. It was hilarious in that many of my friends are strong Christians, and many of James' friends are part of the BDSM community. We could not have been more polar opposites on many aspects of our worldviews, but we both loved the Ruby programming language and surrounding community.

Both of us had "fallout" from that interview, me for interviewing a "heathen" and James for associating with someone so "vanilla". We both laughed, and we both remained friends.

I'm really going to miss James.
