“John was a long time contributor to the news of the weird, coconspirator and eventually primary blogger behind spitting-image.net, and the author of the original and brilliant overheard starbuck. Readers of this blog and anyone who had the pleasure of receiving John’s e-mail knew him as a generous sharer of information, a keen observer of American culture, and a wise and honest friend. John was proud of the accumulation of this site, which shall remain, a spark of light among the constellations.” (source)
