Now, there will be a more fleshed out version of this someday. I have detailed preliminary pencils completed, but after a couple of dry runs with ink pens, I have this one, and none too soon, seeing as this fellow is in the news.

Joey Hess was hired at VA Linux Systems as a Debian developer some months after I had come on board in a different group. He was a quiet fellow with a very civil, soft-spoken manner, even when he was articulating very strong convictions on any number of topics, including personal privacy (which as I recall, we shared a lot of the same convictions) and a highly competent engineer.

After a while, Joey left to go live out the Virginia hills and that was the last I had heard of him for years...until last week.

He discovered some interesting aspects of the Palm Pre phone, which has gotten the attention of the press (for good reason, seeing as the Pre send back data about what the phone is doing and where it is back to Palm) :[link]
