Al Weisel was a bloggers blogger and he helped me when I started out. We maintained a modest off-line relationship and had a good on line one as well. He has died, and he will be missed.
This was his site, and this is a post honoring him. You may have known him as as Jon Swift.

Oh. I used to read him religiously, for lack of a better word. The mark of good satire is the number of people who don't realize it's satire. By that yardstick, alone, he was great.
