RIP Crichton

RIP Michael Crichton. You were a brilliant storyteller, though not such a great climatologist. Seriously, comparing environmentalistic hype to Y2K, while laughing off the possibility of drastically dropping housing prices (which has since come true)? My friend Dave sums up his thoughts (which mirror mine) and articulates them better than I have. Oh, and the New York Times had something to say about him as well.
