About Anil Dash

Hi, I'm Anil Dash. I'm a blogger and geek living in NYC, and my day job is being a Vice President at Six Apart, the global blogging company which I helped start, and which makes great tools like TypePad and Movable Type that help power sites from Britney to Barack, from the Washington Post to the Huffington Post.

I'm just as proud of my work on dashes.com, my personal website which was founded ten years ago as one of the earliest blogs on the web. (The Houston Chronicle called me a "legendary blogger", which I think was meant as a joke, but is still pretty amusing.) Over the years, I've been featured in newspapers and magazines from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal to Wired, appeared on TV and radio from PBS and NPR to the BBC and ABC, and acknowledged in serious books like The Long Tail and Wikinomics and in silly books like I Can Has Cheezburger? and Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle. Perhaps most appropriately, I've also been fortunate to be linked to by blogs all across the web.
