James Orlin Grabbe, who was a regular linker to this blog, has died, a Reverse Cowgirl reader reports. The front page of Grabbe's site now reads: "We are sorry to inform you that James Orlin Grabbe passed away in his home in Costa Rica on March 15th, 2008. He will be missed, Godspeed Orlin." Wikipedia reports the cause of death was heart failure. Grabbe was an internationally renowned scientist and author whose interests ranged from finance to fractals. His obsessively updated ur-blog was a deeply eclectic mix of chaos theory, cryptology, and conspiracy theories--all peppered with photographs of naked women. "When asked about the girls on his page, Orlin Grabbe is said to always have given the same message: It is my page and I alone decide what goes on it. I like beautiful images and the pictures of the naked girls keep those away who I don't want to visit." The archives live here.
