That's sad

I normally don't have any emotion when I see that a celebrity dies, but today I actually felt a sense of sadness when I saw that Steve Irwin, better known as the crocodile hunter, died from a stingray barb through the heart today. I spend the majority of my television-watching time watching education stuff, including Animal Planet, where Steve had a couple of different series. He and Jeff Corwin are two of my favorite TV people, and I think the conservation and television world is a little worse off due to his death. One of his shows invited us into his family - his American-born wife Teri and his young children Bindi and Bob - and you really started to feel like you knew them. Crikey.
