About: Sean first communicated with his parents via teletype from inside the womb where he had recently gained access to the Dartmouth network. A hacker in college, he ended up in the military where he caused quite a stir riding his Unicycle to work. This prepared him to "work" as a Juggler by night and sleep on the streets by day. Then one day in a drug-induced Californian haze, he stumbled across the web. Calling it an "annoying fad", Sean would quickly change his tune in amazement as he was offered a paid position to BBS all day. Now he is a vegan in Canada with 5 cats where he carefully hides his technology and blog habit by masquerading as a dirty hippy.
