Default Re: Ask El Diablo

Noah: I suspect I will be here for as long as my daily life involves me spending large amounts of time in front of a computer and/or on the phone. Which in an ideal world would be not more than 2 or 3 more years. And as long as people I'm interested in interacting with are also here. That's obviously part of why I started this forum.


Anthony: "New Yorker or NY Times Mag or (gasp) Atlantic or (double gasp) Harper's?" Whatever I have available. I love reading everything.

"What is your current level of involvement with your undergraduate institution?" Not much. I volunteer as an interviewer here and donate very small amounts. I never really understood the whole donate to college stuff, I prefer donating to other places more.

"What should we do about the federal budget deficit?" Good question.

"Was Henry V really a badass or was it all an act?" Asking the wrong guy.

"What is more baller: being knighted by the Queen of England, winning the Presidential medal of freedom, or being deemed a god by an aboriginal village?" My birth nation is the UK, so I gotta go w/ knighthood.

ryan: I left college with no money and in a bit of debt. I got a job for a year and a half. Then I did some consulting on my own. Then I started a company while doing consulting on the side. That didn't work out. Then I did some consulting. Then I started another company and did that full-time, which led to finding venture capital investment and building that company. I didn't get rich from that company, but left that company with enough money to have some flexibility in my life.
