God Bless him. 62 67, his widow says he succumbed to stomach cancer this morning. This one hurts, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio are among the giants in my favorite musical pieces. The music and the lyrics just breathe like a favorite epic fantasy novel.
Decades after he died penniless, Nikola Tesla is elbowing aside his old adversary Thomas Edison in the pantheon of geek gods.

We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward, ones that match our mission.
