Hey kids, did you know that in 2011 there was this dude who went by the name “Shingy”, who was VP of Marketing at AOL, who somehow morphed his persona to become the company’s “Digital Prophet”.

A conversation sparked this weird memory in my brain and now you too will remember a piece of Weird Tech history.
