Today I was saddened to hear that a friend I haven’t seen in quite some time, Andrew McCallum, was involved in a serious accident this past Saturday, and is currently in hospital within the intensive care unit. He is unfortunately in a coma having suffered severe head trauma, but as of this morning was responding to some stimulus, which is definitely a good thing.

I met Andrew through various friends that made up the group that I hung out with during my Interlog days, and he was always such a great guy to hang out with. Also known as Mental Floss, he is quite an awesome DJ. He works across the street from easyDNS, at Tucows, whom we use for domain management services, and on occasion when I would have to call them, I would usually get Andrew and we’d chat for a bit, catch up, and make plans to hang out, which unfortunately never came through due to conflicting schedules and the like. I truly hope make plans with him in the near future to hang out, as all it takes it is for something like this to happen to a friend to really make you realise how precious the time is that we have with each other.

Andrew, you are a strong person, full of energy, and full of life. I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll pull through this, and when you do, it would be a privilege to hang out with you again. My thoughts are with you, and your family.
