My friend and colleague Erik T. Ray, with whom I worked at O'Reilly and co-authored the Perl & XML book, died suddenly at the hospital last night while recovering from a traffic accident. He was a good guy, and showed up on an episode of The Gameshelf. I still have the strange Korean novelty pen he gave me at the studio that day.

wow

Jesus, that's horrible, horrible news. Erik was an OK dude. This is just unbelievable.

Aww, I'm sorry. No wonder you seemed a little down yesterday. :(

I learned, quietly, in the middle of the party. It was a bummer.
