i lost a good friend last november.
i met warren as a freshman in high school; he was my first boyfriend and we remained good friends over the last 20+ years. warren was a hyper-active, fast-talking, fast-thinking, fast-eating, computer and science genius. in his short 37 years he created a software program called pymol used by scientists around the world. he could have charged money for his product but he gave it away as open source. his goal was to make an impact and do something good for the world, and i believe he accomplished this.
