Two weeks ago, my dad left this life. He died in the hospital surrounded by his family. He was a giant of a human being and the imprint he left is deep and wide. I will be forever grateful to have known him so well, and also that my kids got to know him during these last five years after he moved from Washington State to live in our orbit.
He was my biggest fan, and I miss him terribly, as do all who knew and loved him. I don't like to think of him as resting in peace. I like to think of him as resting the way he lived--with unfailing cleverness and good humor, infinitely interesting ideas, unmatched creative output, massive generosity, and deep affection for all those he loved.
Watch for announcements about when the fantasy books he was working to finish are available online.
E. Todd Ellison, you will be sorely missed and forever celebrated.

@andreapetkovic He's an idiot...you are so fun to watch, interesting and funny...sorry I couldn't see the match today, hope the knee worked well...be safe and dream of cool fans.
@Erdayastronaut Dude, you're awesome...many in the world must cling to the ways they know...I know that because I'm 72 and have seen the clinging thing...they aren't who is listening and learning from your diligent/rigorous work educating us...f'em.
@elonmusk@elonmusk ...and today some ideas cry out for deconstruction and informed inspection. The optimist says the future belongs, ultimately, to those who reason with excellence...and act.
@elonmusk@Tesla I just drove my new Model 3 for the first time using Autopilot Preview - in the rain. It was absolutely awesome! Too bad that word is so over used. Massive difficulty, incredible achievement - applause to you and your team!
@Erdayastronaut@LudicrousFuture @BenSullins @answerswithjoe I keep thinking people haven't discovered what a tipping point this is. How potent the shift is, and how it is accumulating. How it enables...just saying, this will be seen as a focal point...as a trigger of a sea change.
