Terrible, terrible news. http://boingboing.net/2013/01/12/rip-aaron-swartz.html Aaron was incredibly talented, caring and doing amazing things. Even when he was only 14 or 15 and I was blown away by Aaron's combination of genius, accessibility and dedication to use technology to help the world. How can we carry forward Aaron's dreams and efforts?
