RIP George Carlin

George Carlin dead at 71.

I for one recall not only a lot of his humor, which had me rolling, but also his spot on political and social commentary. He took aim not just as the silliness of "indecency" and "obscenity" but also at religion, war, poverty, and many other important topics. He also worked on many kids projects, and I "know" him from that realm too - Thomas the train, for example. His insight and genius will be missed.

This is the shark jump:

At Google headquarters, a required stop on the geek-cult-hero speaking tour, he recently addressed hundreds of engineers, some of whom dutifully waited for him to sign their laptops. He said he had only wanted a tour of the place but had instead been invited to speak. The real thrill, he said, was that a hero of his, Donald Knuth, a professor emeritus of computer science at Stanford and a programming pioneer, was in the front row.

“It’s comparable to Bill Gates’s being in the front row,” he said. “I got to have lunch with him. He’s in his 70s, but people he is in touch with must have told him about it.”

No, that is WAY FRAKING COOLER than Bill Gates being in the front row.
