Duane Roberts, inventor of the frozen burrito has passed at the age of 88

via Gizmodo:

Few modern inventions have had a bigger impact on our nation than the frozen burrito. How much American productivity has been fueled by late nights spent chowing down on these microwaveable wonders? How many startups have been founded amidst mouthfuls of soggy tortilla bolstered by gooey bean and cheesey goodness? The full impact of this modern marvel may never be truly known. Unfortunately, the inventor of this magnificent invention has died.

That's sad. I'm going to go have a moment of silence with Chef Mike.

Quentin Wilson, former Top Gear and Fifth Gear presenter gone at 68.

I met him fairly briefly once, as he stayed at the hotel I worked at around….1997/1998. Nice enough bloke. Certainly wasn’t a dick to the staff, which frankly speaks volumes. Positive ones.

Only 68. I always enjoyed his put downs of less-than-wonderful cars, back when Top Gear was actually a car show. His documentary about the tale of the Delorean car sticks in the mind.
