Requiem for a Blog

The first blog I ever stumbled upon was dack.com, “the 2� of Dack Ragus, a guy living in Minneapolis, MN (USA) who likes to golf, cocktail, and watch movies … in that order.” I truly enjoyed reading Dack’s pragmatic, cynical posts on any of his varied topics, even if I happened to disagree with his sometimes severe opinions. His Flash is Evil article and people’s reactions to it are priceless. His movie reviews are sarcastic and biting, and it works. It was through Dack that I cought on to the whole weblog culture, and for that, I owe him a lot of thanks. Sadly, Dack has decided to move on:

“…what I really want to do is make computers, and specifically the Web, a much smaller part of my life.

“Sure, a new article or web movie might be added every once in a great while, but the weblog � that 315 pixel-wide space with the too-small type � is off the air.”

And that’s the way it is. You will be missed Dack.
