The Story Of Gene Kan
from the unfortunate dept
There have been a number of obituaries for Gene Kan, but the San Jose Mercury News put together a good article discussing the article discussing Gene's struggles. It is truly a terrible thing to hear about Gene's life and his struggles with depression. I'm posting this in the hopes that people will remember Gene and the things he did, and also (hopefully) that reading about such things may help others in similar situations to seek out help.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
