The Financial Times is reporting that blogger Greg Newton of Naked Shorts passed away from a heart attack. Greg and I were email/blogging buddies almost from the beginning of my blogging days; I used to write often about New Zealand and Greg was a kiwi which might be how he found my site. We met in person at a conference in NYC almost two years ago.
Greg's humor and whit were truly astounding and I view this as very sad personally of course but also for the blogospere.

Roger,
Sorry to hear about your buddy, Greg. The only exposure I had to him was what appeared in SA, which seemed to always be short, terse...whatever term you wish to use, and laden with ascerbic wit. I often found myself wishing I could see some of his "serious" stuff, since he seemed like a pretty bright guy.
I can't believe it. I thought the guy was great. I met him several times. My favorite line in his blogs was he "forelock tug" acknowledgements. He will be missed.
