Person
Chris Dawson is an ex-employee of several notable companies (Apple, RealNetworks and Virage) and igniter of several mostly failed startups. He's also a proud native Portlander, and enjoys time with his wife and new baby, scheming for a 30 hour day. Chris notes that his ten-month-old son is full of wonder, but worries that we have lost the capacity to wonder now that Google is accessible on cell phones. He is a fan of personal growth work, no matter how painful or weird. As such, he finds he learns something new about himself every time he pens (or taps out) a blog entry. Tim O'Brien is a professional singer/programmer living and working in the Chicago area. He discovered programming on a TRS-80, and studied Electrical Engineering at UVA. Tim is active in the Jakarta Commons.
