PERSON
Neil Bauman
Neil Bauman
- Neil Bauman is the founder of Geek Cruises (later rebranded as Insight Cruises), an innovative travel education company that pioneered tech-themed cruise conferences for programmers, developers, and tech enthusiasts.
- Under Neil's leadership, Geek Cruises organized legendary theme trips (including MacMania, Perl Whirl, and Linux Lunacy), combining high-quality computer science seminars with spectacular global itineraries.
Connection to Me
- Neil partnered with me on numerous voyages, with me serving as a key instructor teaching Perl and other technologies, as well as a resident digital photography mentor on "Click" photo-cruises.
- Our partnership and the very concept of Geek Cruises itself began when Neil asked me for extra help on his Perl project, leading to a fateful debugging and karaoke night at a local bar. See Origin of Geek Cruises and Karaoke with Neil.
- I often traveled and went ashore with Neil during port stops, such as our memorable day in St. Thomas on the October 2003 Caribbean Click cruise.
