Anita Rowland passes away, rough week for the blogosphere
I just received an e-mail from Karen Anderson, the assistant organizer for the Seattle Weblogger Meetups, delivering the news that Anita Rowland (who organized those meet-ups) died of cancer today.
She is the second blogger I remember from geek dinners at Crossroads Mall to pass away in less than a week. Robert Scoble even linked to a rather saddening photo from one of those dinners with both Marc and Anita in it.
You didn’t have to even meet Anita to know her name and that she was a pillar of the Seattle blogging community. I only wish I’d taken better advantage of her monthly meet-ups.
My thoughts and sympathies are with her husband Jack, Riley, and the rest of her family.
