As I’m sure you’ve read, CNET editor James Kim and his family disappeared while heading out on vacation to the Pacific Northwest. Late last night, the news broke that his wife and daughters had been found and appear to be just fine. Unfortunately, James is still missing, so no sighs of relief just yet.
Apparently the family survived for an entire week in the Oregon wilderness, keeping warm using the car heater and burning tires. James went out on snowshoes to search for help and hasn’t been seen since. I can’t imagine what a terrifying decision leaving his family behind must have been. I don’t know James well, but I’ve spoken to him a few times and, as everybody out there has said, he is a really solid and great guy. Needless to say, we’ve all got our fingers crossed.
Although we still don’t know exactly how they got stranded, as more details of the story come out, the crazier it all seems. I seriously can’t fit it all here, so please check out the link.

I payed attention to the coverage of this last night. The officials made it sound like they had become stuck in the snow. I find it amazing that the wife and children were in such great shape after being stranded for 9 days.
Also, they said there would be no further updates by them until 10a.m. PST. So, expect a news conference around that time. Last night the conferences were on CnetTV.com, so I expect we’ll be able to find the 10a.m. conference there.
It’s truly amazing how many people have sent and are still sending prayers and positive thoughts in the direction of this family. I truly hope that James is found to be safe and can be re-united with his family.
