I was stunned and shocked to learn the news this morning that well-known blogger Marc Orchant suffered a massive heart attack Sunday morning at his home in Albuquerque, NM. Oliver Starr, founder of blognation, for whom Marc has written for the past few months, and Marc's close friend gives the details here.
Unlike Oliver and his other fellow bloggers, I have known Marc only for a short time, since he started working with our client Curl helping the company build its developer community. Despite that, I have come to know what a smart person and great human being everyone today has said Marc is, and have learned an incredible amount about how great bloggers think and work.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Marc, his wife and children. I hope to learn much more from him.
