As you can guess, I was trying to be discreet. But it is rather public information at this point (it's even on his Wikipedia page). So here you go...

Wow, there was essentially no information in that blogpost. Here are the relevant sentences:

> My understanding is that after the Macintosh-crazed 80s, he ran into some issues. Suffice it to say that I see him on the street at least a couple of times a month.

Might as well have said nothing at all.

According to his Wikipedia page, he ended up co-founding Radius, which IPOed in 1990, and is now retired in Palo Alto. So he's pretty far from homeless, which is what that quote sorta implies. The blog itself acknowledges that - I dunno why it's trying to make the comparison.
