Michael Crichton Dies
November 5th, 2008
On the heels of my previous buoyant blog post came the sad news that Michael Crichton has died, at a mere 66 years of age. He was one of my influences; he pioneered the acceptability of science-fiction concepts in mainstream publishing and launched many other visionary projects. Very sad.
God’s speed, Michael.

Arg, was hoping no-one else would blog this till I got home at 10ish and that I could be the first 😛
So sad, too young – he was one of my favourite writers.
RIP

Yeah, sorry — beat you to it Fergal. Not the kind of news I’m happy to get to first though, alas. 🙁
