I used to follow Kim back in the late 90's early 2000's when he ran Kimble.org. At the time it was a Flash website that was pushing the boundaries of what you could do on the web. It incorporated 3D, particle emissions from your mouse, mouse pointer following and a few other Flash techniques that no one was doing at the time. He also had another site called Monkeybank which was another amazing Flash website. One of the first that I saw which used 3D models rotating with correct shadowing.
I was honestly more amazed by Kim's online persona, because I never had any idea what he did. To be honest, I just saw awesome websites and a guy that looked like he was having fun being a software engineer/hacker. Then he launched the Ultimate Rally, a competitor to the Gumball 3000 race, which was all about fast cars driving across different countries in the world (Another awesome website). I think that was in the early 2000's and after that I've been watching him. Since the internet was largely anonymous, I never knew who he was or that he was falsifying his lifestyle.
His websites have long since been taken down, but they are still vivid in my mind.
