Good Guys: Don Kimberlin

This is: Beagle-Ears -> Lars -> Friends -> Don Kimberlin

I have never met Don Kimberlin, and know him only from some of the articles he has published on the net, telling great stories about his professional experiences. If he had a website of his own, I could have just linked to it, but since he doesn't, I have assembled this page of links to some of his articles.
