Into the Black

We got the sad news today that Jaroslaw Krzysztof Marcin Wolski, A.K.A. Jerry "PoliSh" Wolski died suddenly last night. Jerry was a stalwart member of the DOOM/QUAKE community, who maintained websites, helped create seminal machinima movies, organized leagues and tournaments, and was one of the folks who helped put together the original QuakeCon in 1996. In spite of all that old school credibility, PoliSh was only 32 (Saturday would have been his 33rd birthday), far to young to go, much less of what was an apparent heart attack. I had the chance to spend some time with Jerry on a few occasions and always found him to be a warm, fun-loving character. To offer an overused phrase that is quite appropriate, he will be missed, as the world needs more of his ilk. Our heartfelt sympathies to his young widow and his other family and friends. There's a forum post about this on the AHLPoker Forums where more details may end up surfacing.

I hope this kicks a few people in the tail to go get a checkup with some blood taken. I'm only 30, but I just found out my cholesterol and my liver function tests were far from being good... and I'm actually just moderately overweight (6'2" 220lbs) and don't smoke, can run 3 miles in 30 minutes, etc. If I didn't get this checkup and make some life changing moves, this might have been me in a few years.

Go get a checkup!!
