Ethan Winer is one of those guys whose expertise branches out in a thousand directions. For as long as I've been online, he has been at the center of a wide variety of technical discussion forums.

My first introduction to the guy was in an MS BASIC forum about 20 years ago. At that time he had written a compiling library that reduced the size of BASIC executables almost to the size of assembly language executables.

When Visual Basic entered the scene, he moved on to new frontiers, and here he is again.

If you google his name, there's no telling how many different topics will come up. He is a programmer, musician, author, acoustics expert and more.
