We lost a legend — a man who, I’d argue, created a spiritual precursor to nostr, the Bulletin Board System (BBS).

The inventor of my first on-ramp to the Internet.
I ran a Fido BBS out of my bedroom on the venerable Commodore 64. Good times.
Those were the days. Getting home from school, dialing in to several of my local boards, playing some LORD... iykyk.
Maybe pirating games from some BBS in Berlin using MCI long distance codes. Maybe.
I probably wouldn't be here without this man. RIP 🙏
