Keith Alexander was killed July 11, 2005 while riding his bike on the Shore Road bike path in Brooklyn. According to eyewitness accounts, he swerved to avoid another biker who was riding erratically. Keith was a technologist, a body modification enthusiast, and an avid cyclist. Xeni Jardin wrote up a moving memoriam on BoingBoing.net which reads in part:
Once, he was preparing to get a large Japanese koi tattoo on his back, and he promised to blog photographs throughout the process. I asked if I could share them with Boing Boing. He said, sure, and he was right — the ink was beautiful. But even more so was the childlike fascination with which he explored that small wonder of the world. It’s the same sense of fascination that brings me back to the laptop and to Boing Boing each morning.
