Jackpine Radical added so much and really inspired me.

i started coming here when i lived in a place that isolated me from solid, in-depth discussion of ideas. Jackpine is one person who kept my brain engaged, and it felt good when he'd come into my threads to drop some comments. felt like we were pulling up digital rocking chairs and chewing the fat, and we need more of that in our digital lives.

this digital space we create for ourselves is important. the people here are real, and they mean something to us. i know that on one level we're just ones-and-zeros on a screen, but Jackpine meant something to me, as so many of you do. i feel such loss knowing he's passed, but i'm very happy to have been able to know him here.

sigh. just had to get that out.
