I have an uncanny knack for returning to someone's site after a long time away, and finding out they've undergone a major life change. I had just sent a few emails to Andre Torrez, who created the super cool FilePile and found out he's quitting writing his personal site, Torrez.org. Last night I dropped by Links.net, the Model T of personal web sites, and found out that its creator, Justin Hall, was moving to Tokyo. I had spotted him around San Francisco a few times, once holding court on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, and had always been too shy to say anything. Now I suppose I could do the I-know-people-you-know, thing but it's too late.
*sigh*
