Farewell to Roland Piquepaille, 62, Smart Mobs blogger

I just learned from Howard Rheingold in a post on Smart Mobs that well known and respected technology blogger Roland Piquepaille passed away on Monday, following a stomach virus that led to complications.

Roland, 62, was one of our (ZDNet's) most passionate bloggers and his ability to explain complex science well was something to behold. Roland spent most of his career in software, mainly for high performance computing and visualization companies, working for example for Cray Research and Silicon Graphics. He left the corporate world in 2001 after 33 years and jumped into blogging.

Roland Piquepaille blogged for Smart Mobs on Sundays, ZDNet and on his own blog called Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends. He will be sorely missed.
