The Fredösphere

An article in Wired about a programmer and entrepreneur accused of murdering his wife is not a typical subject for the Fredösphere, but what the hay.  I found the story as compelling as a car wreck.  Please people, the lesson to learn here is:  mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be programmers.  The guy's poor wife -- between the husband and the best friend she was having an affair with (who was a bridesmaid at their wedding, and nope, that's not a typo), she has incredibly bad taste in men.  Or had.

The best part is that the programmer rails from prison against those who traffic in geek stereotypes -- even while his life tends to confirm the worst of them.  Yow.  I also liked the author's cute trick of quoting lines of computer code at portentious moments, which gives the story a technomage vibe.
