Digital Serenity

Digital Serenity is the blog of John McPherson Leask III (Jay). His mind wanders from food to travels, every-day activities and humor to sports, podcasting and technology - though mostly the focus of Digital Serenity will be his technological exploits.

VP of Sierra Nevada missing

As of right now my plan to keep this blog mostly technicaly still stands, however there will come times where I feel something is worth mentioning.  And this is one of them ...

I've noticed many geeks such as myself also find themselves enjoying a quality beer (and no, I'm not referring to Corona w/lime, or without).  One of my favorite standards is Sierra Nevada - but that's not what this is about.

This morning as I was going through some of my usual blog reads, I noticed a distressing title (similar to mine above) in my feed for BeerAdvocate.com (great site, check it out).  Looks like Steve Harrison, Vice President of Sierra Nevada and Employee #1, went missing August 6th and still has not been found; latest reports suggest it might have been suicide but no final decision has been made.

While I don't have much reach yet with my blog, I felt like it was my duty to relay the news - whenever someone goes missing with no explination it's a sad day, but when it's someone related to something or someone I know, it's even sader.

Check the Google News cluster here and the Beer Advocate thread here for more information.  Please put Steve and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
