  The History of Rock Music. David Thomas: biography, discography, reviews, links
Pere Ubu's vocalist David Thomas, "Beefheartian" transgressor of mastodontic bulk, continued, with a series of ferocious metropolitan raids at the head of patrols with such eccentric names as the Pedestrians, Trees, Eggs and especially Golden Palominos, the insane programme of the primitivisation of modernism begun by Pere Ubu.
In 1996 David Thomas was invited by an American university to give a lecture on "The Geography of Sound In The Magnetic Age", which was later repeated around the world.

 USATODAY.com - Yahoo's legacy: Profits are possible on the Internet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Yang, 36, and Filo, 38, became billionaires long ago, but they have stuck around as the "Chief Yahoos" at the Sunnyvale-based company because they are eager to continue innovating and increasing profits.
Yang and Filo are used to skeptics — they've been shadowed by doubters ever since they began compiling a list of their favorite Web sites while procrastinating on their electrical engineering graduate work at Stanford University.
Neither Yang nor Filo thought they would have such a big impact when they raised their first $1 million to fund the startup and hired technology industry veteran Tim Koogle as chief executive.

Filo, a native of Moss Bluff, Louisiana, was a scholarship student and a Dean's Honor Scholar while at Tulane.

 Metroactive | San Jose | Yahoo!
David Filo and Jerry Yang held fast to their principles and refused to sell out.
Filo's sleeping habits are not surprising considering that he and the Taiwan-born Yang, who grew up in San Jose's Berryessa suburb, are at the epicenter of one of the biggest battles the high-tech world has seen since the first wave of personal computer makers duked it out in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
All they had to do was accept any one of a number of recent offers, from behemoths like America Online or Netscape Communications, that would have rewarded their less than two years of labor with cash hoards sufficient to retire comfortably before either of them hits the age of 30.

David was standing up, and he was awash in a trash heap of paper.
Another irony: David Filo, cofounder of Yahoo!, was wearing a fairly well-worn white company T-shirt from Excite, Yahoo!’s fierce competitor.
David already had one run-in with the union, which enforced its rule that nonunion workers can’t touch celluloid, so he couldn’t even use the film scanner he invented.

 Yahoo co-founder Filo muses on the early days | CNET News.com
Filo, along with a handful of Yahoo top executives, made a rare public appearance Tuesday night to muse on the early days of the Web portal and lend insight to a group of about 40 marketers about how Yahoo built a trusted, known-the-world-over brand during the past nine years.
Though Filo conceded that Yahoo started merely as a hobby (for Filo and Jerry Yang to navigate the Web) and their primary means to procrastinate on a doctoral degree at Stanford University, it turned out pretty well.
For example, the company's signature colors, yellow and purple (which were Filo's high school colors), cover everything from the sprinkler heads to the dumpsters at its corporate campus.

Filo said the Green Team pretty much materialized on it's own, and that they've been putting together projects like these for over a year now.
Though Filo doesn't take any credit personally, he did say that he views environmental education as one of Yahoo's responsibilities.

Ten years ago today, co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo took their 31,897 page Internet database known as “Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web” and incorporated a web-directory named Yahoo.
Filo and Yang settled on the name after consulting a dictionary to find the definition, “rude, unsophisticated, uncouth”, suited the oft-earned reputation of Engineering students who, as anyone who attended a university knows, tend to party hard.
Filo and Yang found themselves spending more time working on Yahoo than they did on their studies.
