RIP, DNA
Posted May 14, 2001
Just a note to say goodbye to the great visionary that was Douglas Adams. Thank you, Douglas - for blessing us with your words, humour, and all-around genius. Your way of looking at the world was simple, yet you expressed what you saw with keen observations that possessed great depth and meaning. HHGTTG was truly a guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything. It is the best disguised "self-help series" I have ever read (not that I've read many, mind you). 
Godspeed, DNA, and I hope that some lucky parallel Universe is enjoying your presence as much as we did on this utterly insignificant blue-green planet.
In Mr. Adams' honour, I have inscribed the words "DON'T PANIC!" on my Palm Pilot. Since I do not have a black towel, I thought it was the next best-fitting thing to do.
I hope Doug's vision of Death was as lovely as Neil Gaiman's portrayal of her.
