In 2003, Dash was one of four bloggers featured on the PBS series Media Matters.

Dash was born and grew up near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A long-time resident and vocal fan of New York City, he lived in San Francisco for a time but has now returned to New York City. Aside from his professional role at Six Apart, Dash participated in two prank-like activities that gained attention on the Internet: in 2004, he was the winner of the "nigritude ultramarine" search engine optimization contest, and in 2005 he appeared in a Threadless t-shirt mentioning the web site Goatse.cx which was printed in the New York Times.
