Gene S Morgan Posts: 639 Filters: 81	I was interviewed by Peter Wayner earlier today. I googled him and found that he does lots of tech writing for The New York Times and other newspapers and magazines. He even has a free e-book available which talks about the Gates/Jobs monopoly. His questions were mostly about art attitudes and how FF was useful to me. He never explained why he was asking about FF or more importantly "Why me?" But I always follow an old motto: "Never pass up a chance to have sex, be written about or be on TV" Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Betis The Blacksmith Posts: 1100 Filters: 73	^ hahaha true dat. btw my original word 'levity' was a typo meant to be 'legit' Yeah I'm glad he's taking the approach that he is. I liked that he didn't ask a lot about details of the filter that people can't relate to but more of a general perspective on what filters are, why they're fun/useful, and what it's like being a creator. Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF All my base are belong to you.
