@gruber@mastodon.social That was a touching and elegant tribute. And by the end of it, I was sure that Om deserved it.

Just added the following, after paragraph 14: > Om was never impressed by who someone was, what they’d previously accomplished, what grand wealth they'd garnered, or stature they’d achieved. It’s human nature to be overwhelmed by awe in the presence of great people. Om was not. To impress Om, you needed to deliver impressive new work. He was impervious to riptides of hype. Those are superpowers in this racket.

@gruber@mastodon.social Sharing the picture of you and Siracusa smiling with Om after talking about grumps made me smile.
