Details and RSVP info available <a href="http://www.whappenings.com/january_events/1701_la.html">here</a>.<br /> <br /> He’ll be discussing the lengths some people will go to in order to live a “Mac-centric” life and reading from his awesome book.<br /> <br /> I had the pleasure to be <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,59764,00.html">interviewed</a> by Leander a while back and I finally met him last week at Macworld. He’s a nice guy, has an adorable son, and has the uncanny ability to find the most interesting Apple/Mac-related content to share with the world. If I wasn’t already back home, 3000 miles away, I’d head over to the W tonight myself to see him. Since I can’t go - you should.</p> <a name="aol-facebook-like" href="http://www.tuaw.com/2005/01/17/meet-leander-kahney-the-man-behind-cult-of-mac/" rel="article"></a><br /> <a name="aol-share" class="aol-share" data-bid="16" data-pid="4719" href="mailto:yourfriend@email.com?subject=Meet Leander Kahney, the man behind Cult of Mac&body=http://www.tuaw.com/2005/01/17/meet-leander-kahney-the-man-behind-cult-of-mac/" title="Meet Leander Kahney, the man behind Cult of Mac">Share</a><g:plusone></g:plusone><br \> <div class="view-tags"><a class="trigger" href="#">View Tags</a> <div class="collapse" style="display: none;"> </div>  </div>  <div id="source" class="source"></div> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'> var theUrl='http://www.tuaw.com/2005/01/17/meet-leander-kahney-the-man-behind-cult-of-mac/print/'; theUrl=theUrl.replace(/.*.sandbox/i, 'http:\/\/www'); // replace sandbox with www; remove when you go live var OB_permalink= theUrl; var OB_widgetId= 'AR_1'; var OB_Template = "tuaw"; var OB_langJS ='http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' ) OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = "<script src='http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrainWidget.js' type='text/javascript'></"+"script>" document.write(str); } </script> </div>  </div>
