  man, i just sort of thought up things and made things for the internet. sometimes it was good and sometimes it was lame. i lived through the free lunches of the dot com years, primarily using the money to travel and buy synthesizers and used the experience to learn what not to do. how fake was the whole situation back then? VERY FAKE. then things got real so i started a company with some friends and its going great. thanks

Benjamin Palmer’s Education

• Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

  none , physics & chemical engineering

  i really love science, so i went to school for it, but then realized i didn't actually like scientists, and preferred rock and roll and girls. ah well. anyhow i am still a big fan of science.
  
  when i was there i was a dj at the college radio station. this turned out to be the only marketable knowledge that i left RPI with, and got me a job at a club in boston, where i then learned how to make ads and whatnot with a computer, and then Internet showed up, and hooo boy we were good friends after that.
