News: RIP James Kim

Not to turn the blog into an obituary, but I felt I had to note the death of a prominent CNET editor, James Kim.

It's strange when you see someone explaining the Zune in a video preview, and then a month later, he's dead. James Kim came across as the tech-savvy next-door neighbor everyone wished they had - engaging but knowledgeable.

I don't recommend everyone do what he did in that particular emergency situation (safest thing to do is stay near your vehicle), but no one can ignore the cojones exhibited by Mr. Kim, a family man who obviously fought to the death against the elements to save his wife and kids.
