Lion's Dan

I see that Dan Bricklin has resigned from Interland and has returned to Software Garden. Bricklin is perhaps best known for his co-authorship of the seminal spreadsheet program VisiCalc.

Apparently, Mr. Bricklin is a hands-on kind of guy that would rather be creating something rather than managing it. So he left the relative security of a large company, where he was Chief Technology Officer, to become President of a software company with two products for programmers. Talk about leap of faith. But I have to admire the man for following a path that he finds mentally/spiritually rewarding, if not financially so. Best wishes to him in his new endeavor.
