Hacker News Reader

Really hope they find him, too. I remember reading about him in Wired some years ago, running over to his website, and reading as many of those essays and various things he'd written as possible. Was great stuff...

It is sad that he has already been missing a month, and that the picture used in the news article is such low quality.

The article says he slipped away "sometime between December 2008 and May 2009". That's at least six months ago. It's also disturbing that someone relatively popular and important can "slip away" in this relatively wide window. I know the quote was: "'When his behavior got more erratic, nobody felt close enough to him to help, and we thought we'd help by protecting his zone of privacy,' she said. 'Respecting that zone of privacy is what allowed him to slip away.'" It's still rather disturbing.
