  • Rob Malda, also known as CmdrTaco, is the founder of the website Slashdot. He is a graduate of Hope College and Holland Christian High School. His moniker originates in the Dave Barry book Claw Your Way to the Top: How to Become the Head of a Major Corporation in Roughly a Week; 'Commander Taco' is the final entry in a list of bad restaurants for business lunches. In 1997 Rob Malda and Jeff Bates created Slashdot while undergraduates of Hope College. After running the site for two years "on a shoestring", they sold the site to Andover. net, which was later acquired by VA Linux Systems. Malda now runs the site out of the SourceForge, Inc. office in Dexter, Michigan. Rob Malda also writes a monthly for Computer Power User. His article is titled "The Department of Stuff" and has titles like adwords. txt and goodblog. txt. According to his magazine, "He spends his time fiddling with electronic gizmos, wandering the 'Net, watching anime, and trying to think of clever lies to put in his bio so that he seems cooler than he actually is. " Malda is also infamous for his dismissive description of Apple Computer's then newly introduced iPod: "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. " On Valentine's Day of 2002, Malda proposed to Kathleen Fent using the front page of Slashdot and she accepted. They were married on December 8, 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They currently have one child, Zachary, who was born in August 2007.
