At PodCast hotel today Eric Rice (aka “spin” on Twitter) told me that Jesse Malthus died in a car wreck a couple of days ago. He was a very talented 17 year old who build lots of stuff in Second Life and was well known.

He friended me on Twitter a few weeks ago. That made it a lot more personal to me for some reason. Second Life Insider wrote a memorial to him.

So tragic to lose a life so young and with so much promise.

There’s a small conference here in San Francisco. But they are streaming it live so you can watch too. So come to San Francisco, no matter where you are.
