Dave: Let's see, I first - I guess I started in 1977 when I was a student at Tulane University, and I programmed on a IBM 7044 mainframe with punch cards, and it was a perfectly horrible experience.

 Wired 9.05: Almost Famous
Winer's distinctive voice combines knowledge and neuroses; he writes out of a compulsion to be heard, to outline the world in a way that makes sense to him, and in so doing he has re-created himself as a narrowcast icon for a tiny but influential worldwide audience.
Winer's writing career was born in 1994 when he forwarded a press notice for a friend's company to the sizable email roster he'd built up during his years in the business.
Winer's fluency in software built his career and his fortune, and even earned him a paragraph in the history of the personal-computing era.

Dave's a smart guy, and he's had some pretty good ideas over the years.
