Brian Ross

Brian Ross was boarding flight 815 – Australia to Los Angels on Oceanic Airlines – when severe turbulence crashed his plane on a remote island with 40 other strangers. After months on the island with no hope of rescue Brian and a few other survivors came across a hatch, which they blew open with dynamite. Inside the hatch there was a computer that had a direct uplink with Grip Limited. To bide his time and keep his sanity, Brian now works as an Art Director, remotely wearing his Dharma Initiative jumpsuit and gaining sustenance from mangos and wild boars. Maybe one day he'll find a way off the island and get to meet all the great people at Grip who have helped him maintain his sanity all this time.

Is Tek Savvy owned by Frank D'Angelo? This seems like something right up his alley.

Ian, what a difference a year can make; in fact, what a difference two years can make. From that 'Better Ideas' idea of creating the first blog to where the 'Slide' is now, we have come a long way. And Ian, from sitting in the back corner to...
