I really hope Mark is okay, and I'm really going to miss Dive Into HTML5. That resource had a truly unique writing style, featured a great design, and was an a absolute treasure trove of valuable information. I was literally on the site just yesterday, reading up on local storage.

#32Looks like one of his last tweets: Hey everybody! Adobe has acquired another batch of awesome products that they will slowly ruin through incompetence and mismanagement! From http://topsy.com/twitter.com/diveintomark/status/12091889959...
The Adobe cartel has kidnapped him!
Re: Ask HN: Anyone know where Mark Pilgrim went?
#33Respect his wishes, even his google accounts/profiles gone.. As far as I know he is still working at Google
The problem is that there are no wishes to respect. I think everyone mainly just wants to know he is okay. If he is and he wants space, I'm sure he'll get it.
Why would you think that friends and family don't know where he is?
Sounds to me like a good example of stalking on the internet.

#35He's making recompense for making JDBC part of the first exercise in a Python book. He'll return from the self-flagellation in two years after some time spent at a monastery. I fully expect his enlightenment will bring much into the world of programming.

I'll pass along details of the monastery of the Holier-Than-Thou upon request to downvoters.

#36Maybe he and _why are in Galt's Gulch? (Any Atlas Shrugged fans?)

I think Zed lucky-stiff'd him.
Which is the proper punitive measure for anybody that actually teaches the usage of JDBC.

ROUND THREE:
KARMALITY.
One disadvantage to downvoting me, you have to get down from your high horse to reach the touchpad of your macbooks.
