    These are just a few of the people who linked to Mandarin Meg. Gary Turner linked to meg. I hope he is recovering well from his surgery. My neighbor JR at Duly Noded linked to meg.

    This week in this post I will link to more people who linked to meg. If you have a memory of meg you would like to share at our memorial on Friday, but can’t be there or can’t be online to share it, then you could leave it in the comments below and we could read it out loud on Friday.

      Hi Frank,

      I am so sorry I won’t be around on Friday.
      I miss Meg a lot and think of her a lot, visit her blog almost daily as there is so much there.
      I have collected urls of people who posted about her here: http://covonline.net/2006/06/26/goodbye-michelle/

      “Many African societies divide humans into three categories: those still alive on the earth, the sasha, and the zamani. The recently departed whose time on earth overlapped with people still here are the sasha, the living-dead. They are not wholly dead, for they still live in the memories of the living, who can call them to mind, create their likeness in art, and bring them to life in anecdote.” (James Loewen, Lies My Teacher Told Me)

      Meg is among the sasha. Dead, but not gone: living on through our experience and memories, the blog posts of her friends, acquaintances, and even the impersonal hits of casual Google-guided wanderers.

      One day, another of us will die. Our friends will gather online and off to remember us.

      It will look like this.
