As many of your know, for the past week we have been following the story of missing CNET Senior Editor James Kim 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.
