Dave Slipp
Web Design and Development
A total geek! To Dave, a day without a computer
in it is like a day without sunshine. He's one of the laziest guys
around - he likes to teach his computer things that he can't be
bothered doing himself. Despite that, he's a pretty good teacher.
He specializes in web and print design applications and is a dedicated
fan of open source and the Grateful Dead
