Dan's Land

The Oracles of DNS foretold your arrival.

Behold! The Gates of Dan.

Greetings traveler. I am Dan, the guardian of this domain.

In ages past, I soared through the heavens astride great metal dragons. But in the year 2012, I answered the call of a different magic: the ancient art of software crafting.

From my Fortress of Contemplation, I now serve the Legendary Builders of Framer. As Battlemage of the Backend Voids, I wield arcane spells and command vast armies of immortal Gophers to SHAPE THE DIGITAL AETHER TO MY WILL!

Maniacal laughter echoes through the load balancers...

Behold! The Fortress of Contemplation.

But that is not all. I also practice the Dark Arts of Pastromancy. Fueled by dough, cinnamon buns make my power (and waistline) grow!

When not holding the line against artificial deadlines (or resisting the baked temptations of evil) you will find me lost in tomes of epic adventure (mostly fantasy), or exploring the countryside.
