Some days are really tough, and this definitely is one of them. My dear friend John Martellaro passed away today. John is one of the smartest people I've ever met and had the kind of resumé most of us can only dream of. He was an astrophysicist. He worked for NASA.

He was a US Air Force Captain. He worked for Apple. He's the guy behind the space shuttle landing simulator I played on an Apple II. He also wrote fantastic analysis pieces and interviewed wonderfully interesting people for his podcast back when we worked together at The Mac Observer. 2/4
