Not cool enough…

26 March 2009

(Found at Daring Fireball, of course. More at the online remains of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. With a name like that, no wonder they went bankrupt.)

UoP is the personal blog of Minneapolis-based freelance web developer and independent musician Scott Anderson @room34.
Scott is the sole proprietor of Room 34 Creative Services, and creator of ICS Calendar, No Nonsense, On This Day and other WordPress plugins. You can find Scott's music — as Room 34 — on YouTube, Bandcamp, and all major streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. He also plays bass with 32nd Street Jazz, South High Community Band and Lake Country Jazz Collective.
