Gordon Mah Ung, legendary computer hardware journalist, reviewer, and consumer advocate, has passed away after battling with cancer for over one year. Gordon Mah Ung was a close personal friend of mine and served as a sounding board, a gut check, and a grounding figure. He will forever remain an inspiration not only to enthusiasts, but to his peers -- he is your favorite reporter's favorite reporter. In this video, we talk about some of Gordon's career, how much he did for consumers that you may not realize, and how he built a structural foundation for a generation of enthusiasts and reporters alike.
I will miss Gordon at every event for the remainder of my time here.

I will actually mourn this guy, he always seemed so good humored and likeable.
Fuck pancreatic cancer, it’s an awful way to go.
