If you're a college student, or someone like me with horrible financial skills, someone you probably don't even know but is very important to you anyway passed away on Friday: Momofuku Ando. He's the founder of Nissin, you know the company that makes Cup Noodles and Instant Ramen? I can't tell you how many times Ando's product has gotten me through those times in my life when money was scarce and I had to watch my spending. Sure, after about the twenty-third straight meal of chicken-flavored noodles you'd rather eat tree bark than even look at another noodle, but Ando provided a cheap alternative to starving to death, and I salute him for it.
BIg ups to BoingBoing for this info.
