Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are passed away. It's so strange reading this because he was on the Colbert Report a few months ago, and he was so lively. But his book is such a piece of creativity. He will be missed.

I had just started getting into Beastie Boys literally about a week or two ago.. And hearing this just as I'm starting to really like them is very strange.. Tragic is well. Hard to see it. Listening to their new album MCA still sounds so young!

Sad day for the auto industry. He has done so much and was one of, if not the only designers to have significant impacts on each of the Big 3 Auto companies here in the US.
