I don't know if you know about Bryan Byun (AKA Asian Bastard). He is an amazing early blogger, who's great at both writing and design. It was genuinely exciting to go to his site and see a new design and new weird theme. But most of all, he was a really nice person and an example of a real, human Asian man, keeping it real in a time when there wasn't a lot of that.
Also, he used to make
hilarious comics that would have been a big hit in the social media age, for better or worse.
I just heard from his partner that he has inoperable cancer now.
