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 Randal Schwartz
- Neil partnered with Randal Schwartz on numerous voyages, with I serving as a key instructor teaching Perl and other technologies, as well as a resident digital photography mentor on "Click" photo-cruises.
- I often traveled and went ashore with Neil during port stops, such as their memorable day in St. Thomas on the October 2003 Caribbean Click cruise.
- Neil was a client, service provider, and friend of I. In August 2012, I visited Neil and discussed his doctor's warning about his high blood pressure (170/110). Neil's discussion of his own extensive daily medication regimen helped motivate I to take his Health seriously and start the LCHF/Keto lifestyle changes.
