Another Death in the Blogosphere: Shiny Blogger Star C Foster
Shiny Shiny, the girl’s guide to gadgets, blogger Star C Foster died during the weekend from a tumor in her leg:
Our lovely, fantastic, funny and downright supreme Star C Foster died suddenly over the weekend. Star suffered a pulmonary embolism caused by a tumour in her leg. She will be greatly missed by all of us. She was with Shiny Shiny almost from the start, writing her excellent, sarcastic gadget stories every day without fail and generally being fantastic.
Shiny Shiny won’t be updating today because of this. Sad news indeed. I’ve been reading Shiny Shiny more or less regularly (despite not being a girl) so I’m sure I’ve come across her posts since she’s been with the blog for quite some time.
Head over to the Shiny Shiny post and pay your respects. Our condolences, of course.

[...] Terrible news overnight that Star C Foster has passed away. Star was one of the first contributors to The Blog Herald, and although I only knew her from our email correspondence, her writing spoke volumes for the wonderful person she was. She only contributed to The Blog Herald for a short time before moving on to bigger and better things, including gigs for the Gothamist Network, Shiny Media, and a whole pile of other sites as well. Sarcasmo’s Corner was one of the first blogs I ever read on a regular basis, and on it you could see her personality shining through. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends, she’ll be missed by more people than you’ll ever realise. Indeed, I’m not sure exactly when she started blogging, but I’d think she would be pretty close to being a pioneer, certainly she was there in 2002, and was probably blogging longer than that. I say in all sincerity that I hope she truly does Rest in Peace, as someone who gave so much joy to others should surely deserve to, although it goes without saying that she was taken from this world far too early, and far too young. We won’t forget you Star. [...]
