I heard some Friends mentioning The Author, didnt know who is, just come to join Geekhack, see his topic for the first time for me. Sorry, I am a very Newbie here, dont know the Context.
Dan was a really chill dude who took pretty pics of his amazing boards and clack collection(which has since been auctioned off over on DT) and loved things that were green. He now resides over on Reddit with Ripster. Two great losses to this community.
