Fuck.
The News Blog was one of my daily stops, and Steve's writing style was so direct and conversational I felt like I knew him. I'd kept tabs on his recent dire health struggles via posts from his partner Jen, but assumed he would eventually recover.
Just another weird way the internet has impacted human relationships, here I am crying and feeling like shit because some guy I never met died.
/edit
seems like I'm not the only one.
And Wolcott nails my feeling about his 'voice' much better than I did, which is why he's a highly paid writer and I work in a bookstore.
