Geek The author of HTML in Action and developer of "Duct Tape HTML" he insulted numerous provincial HTML fundamentalist groups with his "in your face" pages. "I make no apologies if this page looks like crap on your browser. I'm going to use the best HTML extensions I can find legal or not. They may only be able to be viewed with bleeding edge browsers. Then again, I may have made a terrible mistake!" With his associate Paige Turner, he co-developed and helped popularize the WeeNIX operating system. "No way am I gonna be stuck with just command line or silly windows" he said in a recent candid moment. Unfortunately, being a cutting edge geek becomes more and more difficult each year. Mr. Morris now wishes he still had 12-year old sons living at home who could show him how to operate the TV remote and configure other household electronic devices. The Morris home is filled with tech gadgets blinking "12:00".
