EcoGeek − 31 July, 2007
Hank Green of the amazing EcoGeek blog has named me the EcoGeek of the Week, which is sort of like having Gandalf tell you that you're the Wizard of the Week.

Hank and I discussed the Internet, the future, climate change, marketing, and evan a crazy little thing called "Web 2.0".
Here's a snippet:
It’s often hard for us to remember that, just a little over a decade ago, the InterWeb as we know it didn’t exist. Not a drop of Wi-fi to be found in coffee shops, no way to pay bills online, and it was about the last place you’d go if you were trying to find a job, an apartment, or even a movie to see. In fact, I can specifically remember not loving the Internet when all the discussion on it was about how people were going to use it to make money, if only they could figure out how!
But what I see happening today is people from all over the world getting to know one another, breaking down barriers, and discovering new and innovative ways to make change happen on issues that they care about. And that’s damn exciting! We couldn’t have guessed fifteen years ago that my job would even exist, let alone the Internet as it is now. I love it, I live it, and I spend a good portion of my waking moments using it. I think it’s the tool that humanity is using to turn our dreams into reality and construct the future from the present.
...and I think that Dandelife is one of the means by which folks are doing just that.

The interview was also <a href=http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/ecogeek_of_the_4.php>syndicated on Treehugger</a>-- so now I've officially checked off one of my career goals and achieved my fifteen minutes of fame all at once. Woo-hoo!

Woops. Typo on that last comment (corrected now). It used to say "I aw that you twittered this." Freudian slip?
