_why The Lucky Stiff
No, not Why? but _why. He taught me ruby with cartoon foxes, his style is something unlike anything within the technical writing field: strange and wonderful. Just take a look at this chapter "When You Wish Upon a Beard." It is hard to believe that this is a programming book.
Yesterday I tried to look for some more information on one of his recent projects Camping. I tried to access one of his sites, and strangely it was gone. I quickly tried another, it too was missing. A bit of research told me that on the 19th of August _why had removed his entire extensive online presence. What makes this all the more interesting is that _why operated from anonymity.
_why was also a musician, and had composed a soundtrack for his computer programing book, a song for each chapter. Surprisingly (or maybe not?) it was good!

A simple Google revealed back in 2005 you took notice of the Lomax Recording of FasoLa in Fyfee, Alabama in 59.
I live about 15 miles from there and was at a FASOLA singing Saturday.
Word on the street is they're expecting 1,000 or more singers to show up for the Midcentury anniversaary middle of September
