90	Caity	Ronan	f	Throughout high school and college Green created and designed websites for himself and local clients. His first project, the "Mars Exploration Page" in 1994, experienced minor success on the heels of the Mars Pathfinder Mission. Later website, IHateI4.com, brought press from local news channels and the Orlando Sentinel. Green continued as a web developer after moving to Montana for graduate school, focusing on developing websites for educational institutions (including the University of Montana) and environmental non-profit organizations. While in graduate school, Green created "EcoGeek", a blog focusing on technological advancements that would benefit the environment. Starting out as a class project, EcoGeek evolved into a major environmental publication. EcoGeek caught the attention of Time, where it was described as "porn for hardcore science, tech and enviro freaks". Writing about environmental issues, Green has been published on numerous environmental blogs, including Treehugger.com, Yahoo! Green, The National Geographic Green Guide, Scientific American, The Weather Channel, Planet Green, NPR and in the New York Times. During the mid-2000s, Green wrote regularly for Mental Floss and co-authored one of their books, Mental Floss: Scatterbrained. During the Brotherhood 2.0 project, Green accepted a challenge to perform an original song bi-weekly (known as "Song Wednesdays") and he has continued, though less frequently, to write, record, and perform songs since then. His songs include "I'm Gonna Kill You," "Baby, I Sold Your Dog on eBay," and "What Would Captain Picard Do?". Green's first successful song was "Accio Deathly Hallows", which was featured on YouTube's front page preceding the release of the final Harry Potter book, and has been viewed over one and a half million times. Green's first studio album, So Jokes, was released in 2008 and reached number 22 on the Billboard Top 25 revenue generating albums online. He has since released four other albums: I'm So Bad at This: Live! (2009), This Machine Pwns n00bs (2009), Ellen Hardcastle (2011) which was named for the winner of a 2010 charity raffle, and Incongruent (2014) with his new band, Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers. The album was released on May 7, 2014. DFTBA Records (an initialism for "Don't Forget to Be Awesome") is an e-commerce merchandise company that was co-founded by Green and Alan Lastufka in 2008. Originally a record label, its main focus was music generated by prominent YouTube stars like Green himself, Dave Days, Charlie McDonnell, Molly Lewis, among others. The company now focuses on selling merchandise for prominent YouTube stars, such as Green and his brother John, Charlie McDonnell, Rhett and Link, CGP Grey, and Hannah Hart, among several others. DFTBA Records has a prominently independent distribution network. The goal of the record label, as Lastufka stated in a video on the subject, is to provide a distribution network for talented artists of YouTube and to make sure their music reaches out to the "largest audience possible." The record label claims to aid a bigger audience in connecting with the artists, and make the "YouTube experience" more lucrative, more exciting, and more fun. Aside from music albums, the label's official website sells other forms of merchandise, such as T-shirts, accessories, and posters. On June 19, 2014, Lastufka announced that he had sold his entire stake in the company and resigned as president, to pursue other projects. VidCon is an annual conference based around online video. Along with his brother, John, Hank founded VidCon in response to the growing online video community. Hank states, "We wanted to get as much of the online video community together, in one place, in the real world for a weekend. It's a celebration of the community, with performances, concerts, and parties; but it's also a discussion of the explosion in community-based online video." The event draws many popular YouTube users, as well as their fans, and provides room for the community to interact. The event also contains an industry conference for people and businesses working in the online video field. Since its inception, the annual attendance of the event has grown. In 2011, Green created "2-D" glasses, which allow one to watch 3-D movies in 2-D. The glasses were originally created for those who experience discomfort watching 3-D movies (such as Green's wife) and consist of either two right or two left lenses from a pair of regular 3-D glasses. In January 2015, Green announced plans for a game company called DFTBA Games on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. He launched the first DFTBA Games project Wizard School in September 2015. Wizard School is tabletop card game meant to emulate attending and "graduating" from "Wizard School." This project was fully funded within the same day it launched. On the subject of stories, Green has said: Following VidCon's success, Green launched a new conference, NerdCon: Stories, focusing on all types of storytelling media, in 2015. The first NerdCon: Stories was held at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during October 9–10, 2015. The two-day conference attracted around 3,000 attendees, and featured guests such as Hank and John Green, Patrick Rothfuss, Maureen Johnson, Maggie Stiefvater, John Scalzi, and the Welcome to Night Vale cast and crew, among other storytellers, authors, performers, and musicians. The second NerdCon: Stories returned to the Minneapolis Convention Center on October 14–15, 2016, with many of its original guests. Green's debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, was published on September 25, 2018. It is a science fiction novel about a young woman who gains overnight fame when she stumbles across an alien structure. The book debuted as a New York Times Bestseller. The sequel, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, was released on July 7, 2020 and was on the July 26, 2020 New York Times Bestsellers list at number 6. When signing novels, Green often includes a symbol known as the "Hank-lerfish," meant to resemble an anglerfish.	Green resides in Missoula, Montana with his wife, Katherine Green. He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2006. Green has stated he does not believe in a god. Hank and Katherine had their first child—a son, Orin—in late October 2016.	throughout high school and college ronan created and designed websites for himself and local clients. her first project, the "mars exploration page" in 1994, experienced minor success on the heels of the mars pathfinder mission. later website, ihatei4.com, brought press from local news channels and the orlando sentinel. ronan continued as a web developer after moving to montana for graduate school, focusing on developing websites for educational institutions (including the university of montana) and environmental non-profit organizations. while in graduate school, ronan created "ecogeek", a blog focusing on technological advancements that would benefit the environment. starting out as a class project, ecogeek evolved into a major environmental publication. ecogeek caught the attention of time, where it was described as "porn for hardcore science, tech and enviro freaks". writing about environmental issues, ronan has been published on numerous environmental blogs, including treehugger.com, yahoo! ronan, the national geographic ronan guide, scientific american, the weather channel, planet ronan, npr and in the new york times. during the mid-2000s, ronan wrote regularly for mental floss and co-authored one of their books, mental floss: scatterbrained. during the brotherhood 2.0 project, ronan accepted a challenge to perform an original song bi-weekly (known as "song wednesdays") and sh ehas continued, though less frequently, to write, record, and perform songs since then. her songs include "i'm gonna kill you," "baby, i sold your dog on ebay," and "what would captain picard do?". ronan's first successful song was "accio deathly hallows", which was featured on youtube's front page preceding the release of the final harry potter book, and has been viewed over one and a half million times. ronan's first studio album, so jokes, was released in 2008 and reached number 22 on the billboard top 25 revenue generating albums online. sh ehas since released four other albums: i'm so bad at this: live!
