I like to think of times like this as a moment for the CNET family to pull tighter. From the outside, we tend to see you that way.

I just came across this NPR story that came out over the weekend, "The Heroism of James Kim". Thought you would like to see it if you haven't already. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6602542 Hi Veronica,

The staggering response to your passing is a testament to what a quality guy you were. For your life and for your sacrifice the world is proud, James. Rest in peace china... you will be missed.

I, like most of the people posting here, only knew James through his CNet reviews and the Tivo spots that appear on my TV every week. His charm and humor were obvious to all who watched him. He is a true hero, laying down his life for those he loved. May he rest in peace. Veronica,

He was presented with a challenge of unparalleled proportion, and rose to meet it. In his last efforts, he is a giant amongst men. We should all hope to stand as tall as he is now, as he looks down on us from a better place. James was a hero, and should be remembered as such.

While I never met James I listened to him on the various podcasts and video casts and respected his knowledge and opinion. Why is it that good men die young.....we'll never quite know the answer to that question but based on what I've read and seen with regards to James Kim he certainly was a "good" man.

Going through the motions. I hate that. You have this God-awful feeling in your heart, because you dont know if your friend is alive or not.. and you just try and keep yourself busy all day because its the only thing that keeps your mind off it.. I think this is horrible, but he died a hero and I bet he's doing great where he is now. they only possible way i could somewhat relate to this was when my dog ran away for a month... but i'm only 16. when i first read the bulletin about him and his family missing i thought it was a joke. when i found out they found his family, i wondered what he would say on his first podcast/review back.. it's hard to believe. he pwned us all. if he were on counter-strike, he'd be a headshot all the time.. you'll get through it. :[ I know how you feel.

This whole event has touched me greatly. It is very hard to explain, but I feel very sad about what happened to him. He was always impressive in his field, seeing how impressive he was as a father and friend, it just shatters my heart. I can only imagine how you all must feel. Hearing you and James and the rest of the Cnet podcasters virtually every day for so long, it certainly brings it closer to home for me. Because of the quality of life he lived, we are all better for having known him. May we all live life to the quality he did. Veronica-
