Well, noted actor Robert Blake, who really killed it in his movies, really just murdered every role, is now himself an ex-person of sorts, having died of something fatal at age 87. In his honor, try not to forget your gun at the restaurant.

A lot of people don't know he was child actor and appeared in some of the later "Our Gang" short films series.

RIP to Gordon Moore, of Microsoft, at age old, of old things. No more doubling of computer performance every two years for you now! Yes, he also did that.

Also, RIP to the son of a stage legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber. His son Nicolas died at age 43 of gastric cancer. Very sad, my condolences to Mr. Webber.

From 20 dollars in his pocket to a dumpling empire: Din Tai Fung founder dies at the age of age 96. What a hardworking individual with creativity when it comes to cooking.

I visited his restaurant chain a few times in California, Philippines and especially Taiwan.

Din Tai Fung's Xiao Long Bao, steamed Chinese soup dumplings often made with pork, were some of the tastiest dumplings I get to eat.
