Rodney O. Lain, popularly known as the iBrotha, has died. Evidently suicide, as the result of long-standing depression.
I never knew him myself, but he was one of the most well-known and respected of the backyard opinion columnists with self-titled Mac info sites that have been around since before the blogging phenomenon really got moving. He had his controversial and widely criticized entries, but he was a big name for a reason. People liked reading his stuff.
Many of the sites right now are hosting forum discussions where people are expressing condolences and such. It's times like this that "community" is tangible.
