The name Jeremiah Andrick first popped on my radar at BarCamp Seattle 2009 when I saw a fiery-haired man with dark-rimmed glasses standing on a bench in the lobby area of the Adobe Center. He was reading off conference center rules and normally this wouldn’t be worth [...]


Kristy Bolsinger: RealNetworks

If the Real MF (More Fun? Mildly Ferocious? Mas Fantastico?) Gnomedex After-Party is anything like it’s employees, then the Real MF Kristy is awesome. And believe me, she is.

SSMP’s Very Own Kenji Onozawa

Profile written by Joshua Wong (@columnbreak).
