RIP Viking

Mr. Smarty-Pants just called me at work to let me know that his friend Viking has died. They weren't that close, and I only met Viking a couple of times, but he was a neat guy. Very tall, very broad, built like a viking warrior (hence my nicknaming)--complete with long, curly blond hair and beard. He rode a motorcycle and I never saw him without his bodyarmor. He lived in a warehouse in Williamsburg that used to be the Ronzoni factory.

He was a good hacker, and a cool guy. I didn't know him well at all, but I did like him a lot. His friend found Viking dead in the Ronzoni factory last week, and the funeral is this Sunday.

I'm sorry to see you go, Viking. You'll be missed.
