Good day all. This morning, May 9th, I received a text msg. from my Facebook friend, David Emerson Boyer, that David Biedny passed on earlier this year. That surprised me quite a bit. I knew Biedny, first meeting him around 2006 when he co-hosted along with Gene Steinberg the Paracast. They interviewed me when I left active research in 2007.

David Biedny is a legend in the Photoshop and Macintosh industries. He was the primary author of the very first book ever written on Photoshop, “The Official Adobe Photoshop Handbook” (Bantam), and his “Photoshop Channel Chops” (New Riders) is a cult classic, the most collectible computer trade book of all time. David was also right there at the beginning of Apple. He got his first Mac on January 24th, 1984 and instantly became the go-to Mac troubleshooter for the first generation of Mac users in New York City. Since then, David has taught and lectured at the School of the Visual Arts, NYU, Stanford University, San Francisco State University, the Seybold Seminars, and was most recently a Lecturer in design at the Yale School of Drama, where he taught core digital media courses for drama students.
There was also the “UFO” side to Biedny. Escaping the Nazi’s from WW II Europe, his father ended up in Venezuela, married Biedny’s mother, and in 1974 Biedny and his half-brother had an amazing UFO sighting above the city of Caracas, Venezuela. I interviewed Biedny a number of times on Dark Matters Radio where Biedny also detailed a number of other events in his life with supernatural overtones. He was a very interesting and complex man and many will miss him. Since his death was not widely known, (by me anyway) I felt the need to acknowledge his passing. Go in Peace David, go in peace.

David as a host of Paracast also had few classic episodes where he talked about cases he personally witnessed. As Don noted, the most prominent episode is unambiguous Caracas 1974 sighting and his brother Barry was also in that show. I initiated with journalist from Caracas to locate pressclippings on that case and he subsequently achieved it in 2013 which led to an interview with David on Don’s show Dark Matters. Here is my short report back then.
