I just randomly saw this news. I suppose that I had vaguely realized I hadnt heard anything about him in a while but I didn’t know the guy was dying. Well like the majority of people I think I’m most familiar with him because of the movie Jurassic Park and the TV series ER. I don’t think that either one is that great, and just how much he had to do with either is totally unknown to me. But as a mere hack writer I can recognize that he was able to identify and explore some very intriguing topics, and possibly his works even inspired people to seek out advancement in science and technology. How many people’s work can you say that about? Can you say that about anything your own life?

So also like most people that have seen Jurassic Park I’ve never read it and have no plans to. Now that the guy is dead it would be the perfect time to acquaint myself with his work but, I’ve left it alone my whole life so I’ll just keep on doing so. If you’ve got nothing better to do you might check him out though.

And in any case, cheers to Michael, you’re leaving us too early I’m sure.
