	A Once and Present Innovator, Still Pushing Buttons
		Bricklin said that the real challenge was to figure out how to reach a portion of the 20 million businesses in the United States with 10 employees or fewer and ease their entry onto the Internet.
		Bricklin has already played an important role in helping democratize technology as a pioneering innovator in the personal computer industry and says that he thinks the Internet is the next step in delivering powerful technology to individuals and small businesses.
		Bricklin first demonstrated that trait as a child, building a shortwave radio, a stereo that the family played for years and a kitchen intercom that his mother, Ruth, used to summon him to meals from his bedroom upstairs.

		Dan Bricklin, inventor of VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program and the application upon which the entire rest of the personal computer industry was built, is running a weblog.
		Dan not only lived through an important time in the development of all these computing machines that we are using, but he contributed to it in a significant way and influenced others making significant contributions.
		It is almost as if Dan is writing a book about the beginnings of the PC revolution, except we are getting the unedited version, with more techical and personal information that gives the story more substance that it would normally have.

	Dan Bricklin
		Bricklin was born in 1951 in Philadelphia and grew up in this city where the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) had introduced the world to the computer age.
		Bricklin continued to look at the traditional way of doing things and search for better, more efficient methods, sometimes even working on software before there was hardware that could run it.
		Dan Bricklin's ability to apply his knowledge and experience to problems in a unique way and create simple solutions is perhaps his greatest contribution to computer science.

		First and for most, Dan Bricklin was born in Philadelphia in 1951, and if you don’t know he is the developer of VisiCalc, which is basically a simple way to do an electronic spreadsheet.
		Bricklin is related to computers in many ways, for example if it was not for Bricklin we would not be balancing our checkbooks today using spreadsheet format.
		Bricklin works of art would not have been possible with out the help of his friend Bob Frankston, who worked on the programming for VisiCalc while Bricklin worked on the documentation and design.

		Dan brings a unique perspective on tradition in printing and publishing with some fascinating new technology.

		Bricklin said he likes the print because it shows that it takes a "lot of work to make something that looks real simple and smooth."

		Citing Dan's experience with pen computing years ago, Dan talked about the current state of the art and acknowledged the recent impact of the Tablet PC and Palm OS in bringing pen-based input to a larger audience.

	Lenz Blog: Dan Bricklin Video Review
		The first review of Dan Bricklin's video "A Developer's Introduction to Copyright and Open Source" has been published here (link found at Dan Bricklin's blog).
		To start out, I strongly recommend buying this video, even though I think "authorized for viewing only by the single individual" (the license of the "evaluation version") is not something an author can do under current copyright rules, as I explained in detail last week.
		Bricklin points out that different copyright holders have different views of this question, and that therefore developers should make sure they understand the view of the author whose code they want to use.

		Legendary software developer Dan Bricklin recently wrote an essay entitled "Software That Lasts 200 Years," exploring what it would take to craft code that could reliably function for an extended period of time.
		The remainder of Bricklin's piece is provocative and a very useful prism for thinking about design.
		It will come as little surprise to WorldChanging readers that he embraces the methods and values of free/open source software development in his essay; many of you will already have recognized that the collaborative-development technique is well-suited for responding to many of the listed needs.

	Joho the Blog: Dan Bricklin on tools, media, and an astounding Rhapsody fact
		Dan muses that the new media are actually tools, unlike the old media which were and are media.
		You could quibble with Dan that blogging software is to blogs and wiki software is to wikis as studios are to TV, i.e., that there are tools involved in all these cases.
		To me, Dan is presenting the analog to the argument that the Internet is primarily about voices and conversations.

	Profile: Daniel S. Bricklin
		Bricklin, who took a shine to computer programming while still in high school in the 1960s, earned an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT.
		Bricklin made good use of the School's computer resources as he struggled to germinate the seed that would grow into today's ubiquitous spreadsheet, and he found near unanimous encouragement from the many professors with whom he shared his idea.
		An exception was made in this case, Clark told a spirited gathering of Bricklin's colleagues, friends, and family last June, because "the objective of what we do in these rooms is to transform students' lives so they can transform the lives of others." Bricklin's invention of the first electronic spreadsheet, said Clark, exemplifies this ideal.

		Bricklin, like the rest of us, must find himself stuck in a rut now and again, but there is no doubt that he is capable of thinking outside the box in which “tradition and conformity” have placed us.
		After VisiCalc, Bricklin went on to create Dan Bricklin’s Demo, a DOS-based prototyping tool that helped thousands of developers and their clients see eye to eye back in the mid-1980s.
		Like all of Bricklin’s efforts over the years, Trellix’s Web products are notable for their ease of use and careful targeting; these are applications that answer people’s needs in a clean and unobtrusive manner.

	Anil Dash: The Day I Met Dan Bricklin
		Dan invented the spreadsheet, and was responsible for the creation of VisiCalc along with Bob Frankston, who programmed it.
		In the interceding year, to my surprise, I've talked to Dan a few times, enough that I've let myself become less of an awe-struck fanboy and even had some good discussions about stuff like software licensing.
		And every indication is that both Dan and Mitch aren't exceptions; many of the other people who helped define the work we all do are just an email away.
