Hu Chuang may have passed away, but his geeky legacy will live on. After the 26-year-old Chinese man died in the course of sending e-mails to his friends, his family decided to honor him with a tombstone carved in the shape of a computer monitor, which displays his dates of birth and death. Stonemasons also crafted a keyboard, mouse and camera, which sit alongside a photograph of the deceased Chongqing resident.A friend of the family told the Austrian Times that Chuang's parents have kept their son's e-mail account open, and have asked his friends to continue sending him messages "because, who knows, maybe he can read them on the other side." We can only hope so.
