I’m sure many people will know already but I feel I should pay some respects here. Marc Orchant died yesterday afternoon. The news is at the top of Techmeme. (I just went there to find out if there was any big news breaking and didnt have to use the scrollbar to find out this sad news.) He was a well-loved tech blogger and tablet PC user.
The sad news was reported by his close friend and colleague – Oliver Starr.
Out of respect for a fellow blogger I list links to so some of his work here. Its about the best thing I can do to highlight some of his good work. I’ve also made the headline positive for Google memory purposes.
Marc’s blog on Zdnet. ‘Office Evolution.’
The ‘All UMPC’ podcast that he made with James Kendrick soon after the Origami launch in 2006. I’m listening to it now.
I love this post. His last on Blognation just 10 days ago where he says good-bye to Facebook and clears out his profile. Facebook says ‘You have no friends’ Marc says ‘Wrong! I still have all my friends.’ Absolutely spot-on Marc.
