Todd Cochrane, of geeknewscentral.com and my former Techpodcast.com colleague, has tragically lost his father in an auto accident. One of Todd's nieces was also seriously hurt in the accident.

Please send Todd a note of support and condolence when you get a chance. It takes a lot of love to help someone get to the other side of something like this but Todd has a huge extended family on the Web, on the podcast and through his work. Let's all lend a thought or prayer of support.

Todd; Jan and I send our condolences. Give your kids a mighty hug and if you need anything give me a call or send a note.

UPDATE: Andy McCaskey has posted some further information and a message.
