So today was Jos Claerbout's Birthday. Jos was a co-worker of mine from my WebTV days. Jos passed away a few years ago from a sudden heart attack at the tender age of 25. It's always a tragedy when someone so young passes away. It is especially difficult when that person is someone that brought so much joy to so many people.

To give you an example of how Jos was so over the top, once in a Hawaian shirt contest he beat my stellar hula girl Don Ho, 'where did you get that shirt!' by entering the contest in a Mumu. This equally gangly goon with his receding hairline prounced around in this dress all afternoon... It was a classic moment and one of the moments I will always treasure when I think about Jos. Happy Birthday buddy...
