James Kim graduated from Oberlin in '93 & I know several people who knew him, so I thought I'd share in case any of you knew him.





"We’re sorry to report that James Kim, missing CNET reporter and colleague to many of us here at CrunchGear, was found dead today just after noon in the Oregon wilderness. Kim had been on foot for five days with little or no food or water, and temperatures were below freezing at night at the elevation at which he was found. He had set out to find help after his family became stranded after making a wrong turn off a little-used road."

oh man, I didin't realize he was an Obie. Also, the wikipedia article has been really beefed up over the last few days.

That's even more depressing now. This whole time, I'd been following the story purely as a tech geek.
