Friends

Dedicated to us all

Friends? Yes... Dan Zen has a few. Friends help hold the world together and most likely have helped Dan Zen hold together. Let's meet a few from University on (family not included). Not all Zen friends are here - contact him if he missed you.

▲ University - Stephanie, Galatea, Jen, Sarah, and many more at an art party - how is that for posture?

▲ Low Riders - Single Pick Vik and Ivan - together we formed the Low Riders - a mock biker band. No... Zen did not really dress like this - the others... sure, except the silver briefcase held by the gloved hand of Single Pick Vik is missing.

▲ Computer Steve - the world's most famous cyborg hung around with Zen in University going to dances with wearable electronics and dyed grey hair. Here pictured much later as Steve Keynotes the Toronto FITC Wearable Computing conference (pic - Jasleen Arneja). Zen picture with his wearable app, Hangy - Visit Hangy
