A Share.

Last week, Adam Lisagor housesat over at kottke.com, where he mentioned an article that appeared at 43 Folders. It was there that I stumbled upon a one-year-later tribute to Leslie Harpold (of the now-defunct Hoopla and Smug) in which Lance Author shared some of the advice and opinions that Leslie had imparted during their friendship. From there, I voraciously Googled and devoured everything that I could find that Leslie Harpold had written. Unfortunately, very little is still live, but the pieces that are available are brilliant.

The tributes are many, and they leave me feeling sad (and in a way, ashamed--I call myself an internet junkie? Pshaw.) for having just learned of her work and her life and her death after she was already gone.

I'm midway through some of the archives right now (God bless Jason Kottke).
