Frostbyte inspired my transition from nuclear physics theory to electronics design. I never looked all that favorably on his drug habit, but his amazing talent as an artist kept me coming back to Warehouse 23 to see what new and amazing sculpture he had created. He was responsible for the Light Suit 2000 and the incredible Persistance of Vision Towers.

He died this weekend of an MDMA-induced heart attack. He fully understood the risks of his drug use and accepted them willingly. He told me once that all of his best ideas came to him when he was high. And whatever assumptions you might make about him, he was brilliant and had some of the most creative and original ideas of anyone I met while at MIT. He'll be missed.
