My name is Phillip Hullquist. If you already know me, this information is rather unnecessary. Perhaps you happened to Google my name and found this page. Welcome.

I am not important, but collectively people are important. My contributions to the online community and the world in general will be shared through this website. New for September 2008, I expect to bring together a bunch of free content that has been represented here in the past. Scheduled to appear is my revived PHP script library, some of my photo collection, and various unpublished written projects. Stay tuned.

History

The name Rudy Greene was used as a persona to help separate my online reputation from my personal life. This because impossible after May of 2007 due to a legal investigation brought against me by the State of Michigan.

RudyGreene.com begin in April 2003 to share personal photos and some unusual PHP scripts that I had written. During my college years it pointed to a web server in my dorm room that displayed a live web cam feed. From May-August 2006, I created a new website that gave away a $50 prize to anyone who could correctly guess the location of a posted photograph. The idea was to see if I could generate enough AdSense clicks to pay for the prize. Instead, we only got around 200 visitors per day which created meager AdSense earnings. I abandoned my website, my home, and my job and traveled around to experience the world. Seven months later, RudyGreene.com got it’s biggest hit ever with tens of thousands of visitors in a single day. Here is what happened:

While working in Texas during spring break, my roommate (Amanda Brunzell) stole my camcorder while moving out of our condo. She then listed it for sale online under her screen name (devildolphin8064). The police didn’t seem interested in pursuing this theft even though I had filed a report and provided them with everything they needed to recover my property. After a month of inactivity, I created an video petition on YouTube and submitted it to Digg.com requesting viewers to ask Amanda (nicely) to return my camera. You can read about what happened next elsewhere online, but many of the reports are simply not true. The final result is that I was convicted of a misdemeanor, had to pay massive fines, and serve probation. Such is the result of vigilante justice online.
