The Life and Times of Scatman Dan
Which section of the website would you like to visit?
Blog
Scatman Dan has been keeping a weblog - on and off - since before anybody ever said the word "weblog". He's even managed to recover some of his early online diary efforts, all the way back to 1999, and archive them here. He writes about his life and his thoughts and about the techy things that excite him. So, pretty much anything, then. Despite his blog being as boring as most, his articles have been integrated into professional reviews and the thoughts he's published online have had him interviewed by journalists. He's easily pleased by this kind of attention.
Projects
Like so many geeks, Scatman Dan always has dozens of projects on the go at any given time. To save himself from being constantly asked about their progress he's in the process of setting up a web site to catalogue them for the world to see. Sort of a "portfolio of a geek".
