Nice.  I've been reading his columns since I don't remember when
(early 1990s?)  I always learn something.

I wonder what he'll be doing next.

This is pretty sad, whatever the reason.  Though I don't consider myself 
much of an analog guy, he has been one of my heroes for a long time.  I've 
read and saved his "What's all this...?" columns from Electronics Design 
magazine for many years to the point that I now have several notebooks full 
of them.  I do go back and read some of them occasionally and find them just 
as fascinating on the Nth reading as I did the first time.
