(below is public info in his own words)
I believe the best software is written by small groups of people who have both passion and vision. Passion is easy to define; you care so deeply about something that it wounds you if it’s done poorly. Vision can mean different things, but I mean the ability to not just come up with new ideas, but to actually be able to see how they would integrate with people’s lives. Vision without passion gives you a guy who sitting on couch saying, "Flying cars! Wave of the future! Mark my word, the guy who invents that’s going to be rich… pass the chips." Passion without vision gives you America’s current political situation, where we allow huge companies to destroy the world but pass laws to make sure nobody marries a turtle.
I started programming when I was 12, taking college courses from my Dad in BASIC and Pascal, and generally making myself unpopular with the real students. I taught myself assembly at age 14 by reading Steve Wozniak’s Apple II ROM code, which is still the most amazing hand-optimized code I’ve ever seen. (When we first opened our web store at Omni Mr. Wozniak was kind enough to buy more copies than he could ever use, I assume because he believes in underdogs. He’s a good guy.) At 15 I joined my Dad’s consulting company and wrote inventory tracking software and programmed cash registers, and at 17 I wrote a program on the Apple IIe for gathering data on precancerous cells for my Mom. Ah, nepotism.
(So it goes C.C.)
CAP AND TRADE WILL BECOME A MOST REGRETFUL BURDEN ON YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

If one has heavy balls like these anywhere in their yard, the cap and trade bill will be the kind of burden that moving these balls from one area of the yard to another before it is all over. So, get all excited and buffed up about this bill that will suck more of your money into projects that will disappear into the woodwork. If you like green jobs and think they will save the american economy each state has a highway department that employs weed cutters and maintenance. These are good green kind of jobs but go and find one. I mean, stand in line and wait for your number to come up. Want to work for the federal government? How long do you have to stand in line to get a cushy government job that usually begins around 60,000 grand. And here’s what sucks…………Chrysler workers, salesmen, mechanics, etc got the finger, more or less. Just think about how much concern was shown for this sector of the populace. You want to pay double what you are paying your electric company? Want to give the government the green light to rob you legally? Pass the cap and trade bill. Folks, keep track of your elected officials who vote for this and see if you want to reelect them when you find your bank account shrinking as one new money sucking green program after another is penned in the oval office with a wide smile. Yep, the middle class is………………… Is………..Getting it.
Credit Crunch Street Art, Shoreditch, 2008

Fly poster art. Caption ‘£1000 will buy this car must use cash for next urban art auction’ (see ‘All sizes’ above for large version);. This is a pastiche/paste-up/rework-up of the famous 1929 Depression photograph. Then the caption read: ’0 will buy this car must have cash lost all on the stock market’; Just as advertising plays back new creative trends so street art plays back historic images coloured with contemporary irony. The new version has no power, but it might raise a weak smile. I like the riot cops arriving stage left. Was the original ’29 photo genuine or a stunt? Perhaps it referenced an earlier work from an earlier crisis?
