A blog site for Kimota94 (that's me) to use for topics that interest me. Those topics originally included: comic books, Major League Baseball, the music and genius of Peter Gabriel and Magnolia Electric Company, the odd work-related topic like Agile Project Delivery, and any other little thing that comes to mind on any given day. Lately, it's mostly been that last one!

What A Completely, Utterly Ruined Life Looks Like
The suicide letter composed by Bill Zeller, a 27-year-old programmer and Princeton grad, is absolutely heartbreaking and shows just how much damage can be done to a person who didn't deserve one iota of it. Normally I wouldn't link to something as personal as this story, but since it was Mr Zeller's wish that his story be as widely disseminated as possible, I'm willing to oblige.
Wow, what an incredible read. I read an article recently that suggested (as a theoretical) that based on historical patterns, when police arrest the perpetrators of child abuse they should also arrest the victims as unfortunately, and tragically, a staggering % of these children will later in life also be guilty of either child abuse or murder. A terrible cycle and it sounds like one of the reasons for which Bill chose to end his own life.
