Howard Rheingold, a pioneering Internet writer and oft-cited Boing Boing inspiration turned 60 yesterday. Rheingold’s Virtual Communities inspired me to join The WELL, and I was privileged to be interviewed for his Smart Mobs. Howard is a brilliant thinker, a stirring writer, an inspiring speaker and an unstoppable shoe-painter.
Happy birthday, Howard! You’re an inspiration to us all!
(Thanks, Justin!)
