Aaron Swartz, co-creator of RSS, practically a co-founder of Reddit, and an early contributor to the Creative Commons architecture, committed suicide in New York City yesterday.

If you don’t know who Aaron is, you owe it to yourself to read obituaries from Cory Doctorow and Declan McCullagh. RIP Aaron.
