Amazing Story

I was pretty excited to find Wired Magazine in Shanghai even with the hefty pricetag. Nevertheless, there is an amazing article on an old computer hand in the Bay Area who disappeared on his sailboat one day. Although sad in itself, the amazing part of the story is the amount of time, resources, and creativity that was leveraged to figure out exactly how this sailboat disappeared without a trace.

This was probably the largest "open source" rescue mission ever and the Silicon Valley (and beyond) resources that were used are unparalleled anywhere in the world or even within our own government--as acknowledged by the Coast Guard itself. Just think if we pooled these resources to find an enemy like Osama...

Clearly this man had made an impact on many people's lives throughout his career and I think you will be equally amazed...find it here.
