    Damn. I&#x27;ve loved Bob and his writings ever since I read Accidental Empires as a kid. He went through some crazy shit over the last few years (lost his house, almost blind). And when he started blogging again this year (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cringely.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;05&#x2F;27&#x2F;where-the-heck-have-i-been-all-this-time&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cringely.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;05&#x2F;27&#x2F;where-the-heck-have-i-be...), the stories got even worse (lost his son, heart attack, stroke). RIP.

      This is heart breaking. I can&#x27;t imagine going through all of this. I wish the best for his family now &lt;3
