Comments on: The Softest Whimper http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2005/08/31/the-softest-whimper/ Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 10 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: David http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2005/08/31/the-softest-whimper/#comment-6411 David Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:23:40 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2005/08/31/the-softest-whimper/#comment-6411 Oh, how sad, Eric. Of all the nights for the transmitter to blow a fuse! If only Tracey had been in town Tuesday night, we might have been up and running on Wednesday morning.

I downloaded your Sept 7th show, thinking that was your last show, but heard you had a sub. :(

You carried on a great legacy started by my trainee, Evan. I shed a tear for the loss of a fun show … and for the sad way your run ended.

On behalf of the station, I thank you for your years of involvement at WRUW. My best wishes to you.

Sometime this Fall you’ll have to visit the new studio!

I still have the url in my clipboard for Eric’s radio site that I came across in one of his interviews… I was thinking how cool it would be to hear great music hosted by someone famous…. sigh. It’s ok, I always get in the longest line in the supermarket too.

It might have been more effective to go up to the roof with a megaphone ;)

(And my apologies if this post seems too frivolous.)

Like you should unretire or something a year from now, broadcast a few more seasons, and retire again whilst still in your prime. Or maybe it means that you should try out for a minor league baseball team now, and then unretire from broadcasting after a lousy stint in the minors. Either way, I think the gods were trying to reach you…

I’ve always had a soft spot for Glenn Miller.

That is actually tragic. Must have been a real downer. :(
