Man, I don't rememeber what vagary of scheduling was responsble, but I watched a lot of The Jeffersons when I was a kid. Years before Seinfeld hit the air, Harry Bentley was my Kramer.

The Reg has a good profile on Andre Hedrick, who committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. His most lasting contribution to our lives is that he helped prevent an industry standard, hardware-level DRM scheme that would have controlled basic file-copying operations.

Well, crap. He was still working, too.

One of the all-time greats.

Oh damn. Wow, that was unexpected.

A lovely remembrance from Bissette, who of course was part of the first class at the Kubert School.

EDIT: And the obligatory obit from Evanier.

No? Nobody's going to comment on Phyllis Diller?

How about Sergio Toppi?

Muppeteer Jerry Nelson.

My thoughts mirror MGK's.

Oh man I love Tomorrow. Who's on First set to a catchy song. And watching him perform with Henson, well. One more to miss.

Wrote a post, including Batty Bat and some links.
