Just Us Nerds has been quiet for a while. Like all fun ventures, it had it’s peak and has since dwindled. Today I come bearing bad news for what few readers remain. One of our nerds has passed on. Quickdog, known in real life as Timothy Quick, passed away on August 6th, 2007. He was my best friend growing up, and though he had long ago moved to Cincinnati, this site was one of the many ways we kept in touch. For those of you who know Tim, you know how much he will be missed by me and by all of his friends. As this small and unworthy tribute, here are the links to the articles he wrote here, his Flickr account and the guest book for his obituary.

Oh and I’m sorry I couldn’t get you the A in Newspaper Graphics. I should have tried harder.

I’m going to miss you my friend.

Finally, I would like to link to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. I sure would like to see this disease eradicated before it claims anyone else I care about.
