Dennis Ritchie, father of C and major contributor to Unix, passed away this weekend.  Truly he was a computer pioneer.  While Steve made beautiful things we replace every other year, Dennis made things that have been in continuous use for nearly forty.  The software for every electronic thing you own was likely written in C or some variant.   He was a hero to me.
