It seems like a bit of a miss not to note that the web site there is the personal site of paleo-Internet figure Jessamyn West:

West is plenty notable on her own, but in THIS particular crowd here at HN, it's probably fun to note that her dad was first-wave computer engineer Tom West, who was a big part of Tracy Kidder's SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE.
