douglas adams passed away. damn.

it's going to be a lazy dog-dangling afternoon. i can feel it.

i just realized something astounding about douglas adams passing away on friday -- he was supposed to deliver the commencement address at the graduation of harvey mudd college, my alma mater, tomorrow. (how did i come to this? i was reading dan bricklin's remembrance of him and regreted that i had never heard him speak. then i remembered. i had the announcement on my desk. but i had forgotten about it, and would have missed it.)
