Spotti was a researcher/professor and responsible for the heart rate monitor in smart watches. He was also a huge icon and pillar of the furry rubber and kink community. In particular I don't think the furry rubber scene would be nearly as welcome/accepted today without his influence.
He was also truly unapologetic about being a furry, going so far as to deliver lectures at Stanford in suit.
I was lucky enough to have known him, albeit not very well. He was such a cool guy, and down to earth and chill despite his influence. I was at one of his parties literally the day that pcmag article came out and despite it being arguably a pretty big thing to happen, everyone was just chill and he wasn't boastful or anything like that. Just kink with good vibes. He created this welcoming environment and I don't think I would feel nearly at home in these kinds of kinky spaces were it not for being around him and the events he hosted.
He would always enthusiastically show pictures of his cat...
Yeah, the pcmag article just amazing to me. He was one of the best of us

heh well i didn't know him very well. less condolences for me personally than the bay area furry community as a whole, particularly in the kink/rubber scene. It won't be the same without him
