For those of you unsure about who David Heinemeier Hanson or “DHH” as he seems to have been dubbed by some online publications lately (probably to save people from crippling their hands on the typing of that name) he seems to have the online community as a whole just buzzing about Rails.

David is one of the brains behind, 37 Signals, an interesting software company that uses the Rails framework to deliver applications. In writing this blurb I realized it’s practically impossible to find out much information about this guy. Probably the best place to go learn about him would be LoudThinking.com, his Blog/personal site.
I am accepting applications for November’s Business Geek. Feel free to “chime in” with your own two cents as I always like to hear back from you.
