David Mason Pearre

Just two punks sitting by the river. Jeezus, were we ever that young?

Dave is one of my oldest friends. I met him in that strange time in my life when I was transitioning between Waldorf school and public high school. Dave was a year older than me, so he could tell me what it was like. He was the one who got me a modem for the first time, back when going "online" meant logging on to a BBS system and it was a real subculture thing. When we were kids, we were video game buddies. I used to go over to his house and we would play civilization for hours on end. He has a little half-brother Alex who was 2 or 3 at the time who was always good for a laugh. Last time I saw the kid he was pushing 12, getting ready to get into girls and all that kind of trouble.

These days Dave is living in Chicago with his extra-cool girlfriend wife(!) Jessica, the one true and honest rudegirl from our high school in Eugene, employing his considerable talents in the same sector as me. He's a lot better at graphic design than I am (see his site: pearredesignprojects.com), but I know at bit more about the voodou of open-source coding. We share work, stories, and drinks whenever I'm in town. He's one of the good people
