Remembering Comedian Richard Jeni, Entertained At InformationWeek Conference

I was personally a bit saddened to learn of the apparent suicide of comedian Richard Jeni; he was the entertainment at the Fall 2005 InformationWeek Conference. He's probably most famous as co-star of the 1994 movie The Mask, with Jim Carrey. I thought his stand-up act at the conference was hilarious, dealing with the indignities of career disappointments and middle age.
