Oh wow. What?! Just this morning I had an occasion to go thru his site/blog. Still can't believe it. 60 is too young. I met Om finally in 2013-ish at one of his GigaOm events in the SF Bay Area. Before that, I had been a long time reader of his GigaOm blogs and other writings at Fast Company, Red Herring, Light Reading, and elsewhere, including his book Broadbandits .

He was a tremendously funny character. What's little known about him was he was a bag fiend just as much as a camera lover. A big chocolate enthusiast as well, until his heart troubles forced him to be more careful.

GigaOM was truly awesome at its best. Om was a special guy, I met him a few times during my years in the Bay Area.

I keep trying to pay it forward. I will miss him.
