As many of your know, for the past week we have been following the story of <A HREF="http://news.com.com/James+Kim+found+deceased/2100-1028_3-6141498.html?tag=cnetfd.ld1">missing CNET Senior Editor James Kim</A> and his family. Fortune smiled on his wife Kati and daughters Penelope and Sabine when they were found by searchers on Monday. James had left them Saturday morning on a quest for help. He was found deceased today.

We in the tech industry, particularly here at ZATZ, will miss James and mourn his passing. He was an intelligent and well-respected writer and tech guru. James made the ultimate sacrifice in his dedication to the safety and welfare of his family. We will miss our colleague and friend; our thoughts and condolences go out to Kati and the girls.
