He was my roommate in 2001 in San Jose.
We came up with the idea of having a place where nerds could come together to hang out and learn from each other and we decided to call the concept "Hacker Dojo". I had a sign laser engraved in 2002 at a state fair to memorialize the idea but we didn't actually get to open a Hacker Dojo until 2009.
There's a conference room in it called Kaminsky.
Dan was not a very good roommate but man, his brain worked in weird and wonderful ways, and it was inspiring how he could just rabbit-hole on stuff other people didn't find interesting until he MADE it interesting and found things nobody else had.
I miss him too. What a gift he was to the world.
Dan was a spectacular brain, and made contributions that still echo today.
He is one of two friends to have passed from DKA. Miss you, Zach. RIP.
Miss pwning with you.
