IT Garage was a Linux Journal blog that ran in the '00s and included this post from September 2004 that provides a data point in the history of podcasting — one when a Google search for "podcasts" brought up only 24 results.
One of the four authors of The Cluetrain Manifesto, the iconoclastic website that became the best-selling book in 2000 and still sells around the world in many languages. (A 10th anniversary edition came out in 2009, and New Clues were added by Doc and David Weinberger in 2015. The word "cluetrain" is still tweeted daily, more than two decades after it was coined.)
Emeritus editor in chief of Linux Journal where he was on the masthead from 1996 until it was folded in 2019.
Marketing, PR and advertising veteran. Most notably, Doc co-founded Hodskins Simone & Searls, which was born in North Carolina in the late '70s and grew in the late '80s and early '90s to become one of Silicon Valley's top advertising and public relations agencies. (HS&S was absorbed by Publicis Technology in 1998.)
Humorist on radio and in print. This was prior to the Digital Age, so little of that work is digitized. One possibly interesting fact is that "Doc" is a fossil remnant of Doctor Dave, Doc's radio persona.
