Om and I went a long way back. I tried to convince him RSS was the way journalism could escape capture by Big Tech. In retrospect, showing him the ad-blocking features of my feed reader might not have been the most persuasive...

He was a tremendously funny character. What's little known about him was he was a bag fiend just as much as a camera lover. A big chocolate enthusiast as well, until his heart troubles forced him to be more careful.

You will be missed.

A bag fiend?

  • Someone who enjoys collecting backpacks, briefcases, messenger bags etc. I recall meeting him by chance near South Park and comparing notes on our bags of the day.
