Greg Knauss is an American Internet humorist and computer programmer.^[1] He was born at 8:28 AM in the latter half of the 20th century in Torrance, California. In college at the University of California, San Diego, he was the editor of Muir College Erratically, a small humor publication, as well as a frequent contributor to the UCSD Guardian student newspaper.

Some of his Erratically work was later reprinted online in the early Internet-based magazine InterText, edited by fellow UCSD alumnus Jason Snell^[2]. Snell also published Knauss's early blog-like e-mail missives on the Internet in a collection known as An Entirely Other Day. In 1996 Knauss and Snell helped found TeeVee.org, a web site that was also powered by software written by Knauss himself.^[3]

Knauss was also an original contributor to Suck.com^[4] and creator of WinerLog. Knauss is also the author of "Rainy Day Fun and Games for Toddler and Total Bastard" (So New Media) and pioneered the weblog book tour to promote it. He also created Metababy, an early wiki-like community.^[5]

Knauss lives with his wife and five children in Woodland Hills, California. He also has a dog, Zoe.
