I was looking down the stream in my Tumblr blog, when I saw an article by Laughing Squid about the death of Aaron Swartz.
I didn’t know Aaron existed until I saw the article about him. I started following the links and reading about him, and I’ve been sad all night.
Which begs the question of why I am publishing this.
Well, the pain I’ve been feeling is the pain that comes from an appreciation of life and the sadness over a useless death. I guess it is a kind of love. I’m sure you’ll love him too.
I, too, read this last night. It added to another sadness I feel already.

Swartz suffered a doleful situation and the loss of potential like his is always grim, indeed.
