William "Digital Bill" Douthett IV

Bill Douthett started in technology by teaching himself computer programming, without a computer. Years later, while a student at The Art Institute, “Digital Bill” began his foray into broadcasting at WLRN TV in Miami where he was part of the technical and field production crews. In the years that followed, he honed his production skills, and combined them with his love computers, to become an early adopter of digital video editing. Along with Marc Asturias, he is co-host and co-founder of wizardsoftechnology.com, a technical forum for advanced and new technology users. The Wizards of Technology, in conjunction with MacCenter, hosted many technology forums, including South Florida's first “virtual” booksigning and “Meet and Geek” in 2004 with Wil Wheaton, Snaggy and Nitrozac from the Joy of Tech, and Chris Hoar of textamerica.com. “Digital Bill’s” love for all things technological has prompted friends to say he’s forgotten more about technology than many people will ever know.

For those of you that may not have been informed, it is with the deepest of sorrow that we inform you of the passing of our friend, brother, son, and co-host of the "Wizards of Technology" internet podcast, William "Digital Bill" Douthett. Our dear friend passed away from a sudden heart attack on October 4th, 2006 at the age of 47. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

The Wizards of Technology has been on a long hiatus.

We will forge on..."stay subscribed!" Digital Bill would have liked that!
