My condolences to family and friends. I’ve been reading Om’s blog for years and always enjoyed his insight, and especially his interweaved creative endeavors. His photography has always been striking. He’ll be missed.
I didn’t know Om well, but I savored my encounters with him, the last of which was a year ago at WWDC. He had been doing the best writing of his life in recent months on this site, and in his absence, we will all understand the tech industry a little less well. I’m so very sorry.
