Articles and Essays
Hi there. I'm Dylan.
I do interesting things with computers, code, comedy, music and video, then I travel all over the world and tell people about it. I write code, I speak at conferences, I teach people how to design distributed systems, build web apps, and give presentations. I created The Linebreakers, the world's best tech comedy alt-punk disco party rock'n'roll band. I'm a Microsoft MVP, I created Rockstar, an esoteric programming language that started as a joke and ended up in Classic Rock magazine, and I own the best web address in the history of the internet.
