I’m Dr. Dan. I was born and raised in Dover-Foxcroft (F.A., ’89), in the 90’s I ended up in the insane asylum called California and got a job as a Computer System/Network Administrator during the dotcom bubble. I got married and we moved back where life is the way it should be in 2004.
I love Maine, and Greenville is special to me. Skiing at Squaw, Fly-ins, a cruise on the Kate. We’re privileged to live in an area so beautiful and distant from what makes headline news.
I like computers, but hate politics. I saw how Facebook became a new way to divide friends and families instead of an easy way to share a picture of your cat.
I’m a computer guy, I came up with a new system of feedback that solves the problems of Facebook, but maintains the useful and fun components. It’s called Physix.
Facebook uses icons, Physix is even simpler: Pick a color, any color to indicate your opinion.
Every opinion fits. As people vote, the results are shown as distribution patterns.
The feedback is anonymous, so you aren’t called a Nazi or a Commie if you accidentally click on the wrong icon.
What makes sense in the big city is frequently nonsense in a rural area and vice versa. Physix can be used as a political thermometer so the folks with the pointy heads and expensive suits don’t accidentally think they made a good decision for a place they’ve never been to.
