Who is Daniel Appelquist?
I'm an immigrant and US/UK dual national who has been living in London since 1999. I'm an advocate for emerging web technologies, the open web, open source and open data. I am co-chair of the W3C Technical Architecture Group. I was a founder and co-organizer of the Over the Air hack day series and of Mobile Monday London. I'm a former .com CTO. I'm currently working at Snyk, leading open source and open standards work.

I am tooting at Mastodon.social and also at dsoc.io.
If you're curious where the nickname Torgo came from, I appropriated it from a character in the the movie Manos: the Hands of Fate via Mystery Science Theater 3000.
If you are so inclined, you may find my public key on Keybase.io.

Enjoy your time in Canada – Hope you’ll avoid my painfully dull hometown of Ottawa ;) Jaiku showing you’re currently in PEI, that’s a much better area to visit!
