Judgecal's High Weirdness

The internet was a strange awesome place.  Here's a clip from the dearly departed Judge Cal's High Weirdness show.  Cal was a pioneer in bringing internet weirdness to you on the regular.  You'll be missed man.

Judgecal - R.I.P.

I just found out an old co-worker and friend - Mark Chamberlain - AKA Judgecal - passed on. The details don't matter. 

Cal was good-looking, likable, talented, smart - he had it all.   We shared a love of comics and first person shooters like DOOM and Quake in the early 90's where we both worked for PSUEDO.COM.

Cal taught me that Ctrl C was copy, Ctrl X was cut and Ctrl V was the paste function on a PC keyboard.  He also taught me that that holding down the shift button and highlighting a file in a folder, and then highlighting a file lower down that list lets you select every file in between the first and the last. 

Maybe I remember this because I use these things almost every single work day of my life and have for the last 14 years.  He was always a good guy to go to for a quick laugh or a smart remark.  He was a solid, stand-up guy who's company was always welcome.

Last time I saw him was at a benefit for the Coney Island Sideshow folks.  It had been a few years since we had been in touch through anything other than one social network or another.  I told him I'd reach out.  I didn't.  I feel like a dick.

Rest in peace Cal.  You'll be missed by many.
