I was just reading about distributed computing projects (I had a mind to participate in something with my computer’s idle time) and I was reading about “Nutritious Rice for The World”, which of course made me think of Borlaug, and then the next minute I came in here and found out that he had passed. Crap. :(

RIP and thank you Norman… Ironic that a guy could do such a hippie thing and be such an anti-hippie about it, too. We need more like him.
