Could someone explain the significance of this for us who don't know? I'd really appreciate it!

_why was a notable member of the Ruby community who disappeared without trace one day. He wrote Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby, which was how many people started learning the language.

  while watching this I noticed that the kid in the "tech today live" video mentions his live stream being "usually at saturdays at four pm-." I was unable to make out the rest of what he says, it's around 12:35-12:45 if you would like to hear it yourself. I feel like _why referenced this in SPOOL/DESOLEE with "April the 18th from like four o clock to let's say twelve." April 18th of 2009 (the year this video was made) was a saturday and I'm assuming what I couldn't make out from "tech today live" was some variation of "to twelve." so, "saturday from like four o clock to twelve." though, even I, am unable to buy into my own crazy theories. I might be insane! I tend to be terrible at these things too. not quite related to this video, but something I found humorous was the picture he used in SPOOL/DESOLEE http://i.imgur.com/gJR6b.png http://i.imgur.com/gJR6b.png not too sure but it looks like dogs racing.

Why was a prolific coder. He also reached out to newbies and made programming fun.
