"One of the biggest things he feared in all the cancer - he didn't fear passing, he didn't fear the cancer itself - he feared being forgotten," said Courtney.”

”Comstock was cremated, and Courtney got some of the ashes. "In this tattoo, there's the ashes of David Comstock," said Courtney. With the permission of Comstock's children, tattoo artist Buddy Green mixed just a little of the ashes into the black. He said he's honored to be doing this for two old friends.

Item #3: Because I’m just that lazy today, here’s a list from Gizmodo of 10 gadgets for an instant game room.
