Renowned computer scientist Jim Gray was reported missing at sea on January 28th, 2007. Though the Coast Guard has called off the search, you can help by going here. You'll be asked to look through satellite imagery in hopes of finding the location of his sailboat. Please do what you can.
"Gray's research over the past 30 years allowed databases to sort quantities of information once considered too vast to manage, leading to the creation of both online shopping and Web-based mapping programs."
Despite his busy schedule as a manager at Microsoft Research, Mr. Gray took some time out to field some of our questions and help us with our spatial database implementation.
We will be praying for Jim and his family.
