As you may know from comments I’ve made here or on Twitter, I’m a big fan of the show Mythbusters. My daughter and I got matching Savage Industries shirts. Since stumbling upon it, its been one of those shows I have watched and re-watched — it was smart and funny and entertaining, and it is one of my go to comforting background shows when I want to put something on but don’t necessary want to have to focus on “watching” a show.
So the news yesterday that Grant Imahara, an engineer whose work at Industrial Light and Magic on models and special effects led to him being a longtime cast member on Mythbusters, had died from a brain aneurysm was a blow for me.
