![]() Very sad news. Matt was a friend for many years. I recall the first time I met him at one of our Apple meetups… he booted a program he wrote on Apple // called The Parrot. It was the first sound digitizer / sampler on Apple //. Mitch Coopet, Brian Bispala, Tony Lindquist - CISSP, Peter Lindquist, Marya Lundquist, MBA, CPP, Renee S., Colt Covington Jonathan Carlson Nathan Dornquast Marie Swanson Tim Cothran He was complex, frustrating as inspirational, set a high bar, and was willing to challenge everything and anyone relentlessly.īetween us I don't think anything was left unsaid. He literally grew up with the technology industry and was a pillar of our midwest silicon prairie. ![]() I first met him in person in the 90's in Minneapolis,later found out we actually first met on the BBS's in the 80s when I lived in NY and we traded Apple hack/cracks, under pseudonyms. ![]() An early 'hacker', in a chaotic good sense. In the photo were the badges that allowed us access into the super secret Apple Data Center (only the third outside vendor to ever enter the hallowed Apple space, our racks were only two down from iTunes) and this is him in the Stanford data center installing the early Crashplan Pro servers. I knew Matthew when he left Fallon, and stared Code42, intro'd him to an early gig, where he created one of the first transformative airline registration systems. ![]()
