Just Did Interviews With Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Business
Very cool - over the past 24 hours I have been interviewed by Kim Peterson of the Seattle Times and John Cook of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The subject matter at hand on the Times story was about how my company, Gear Live Media, came to be as well as the upcoming Seattle Mind Camp event that we are doing next weekend (I can’t believe it’s so close!) On the P-I front, we talked a bit about Gear Live Media, but mostly focused the conversation on Mind Camp. Afterwards, a P-I photographer came by and snapped a bunch of images of my and my laptop in an almost-make out session.
I will have links to both articles, as they are appearing both in print and online - the Times article hits the front page of the business section this Monday!

Okay, so you know how some people call you by your first name, others by your last (Mr. So and So), and still others by a nickname or tagname? My visit to New York included an interesting conversation with my mom about this subject. It never even crossed my mind that different people would feel differenly about this, as its not something you really ever think about.
Basically, she was talking about her father and how his doctor refers to him using the name Ed. His name is Edmond, and he has gone by his middle name Jim basically all his life. He never told the doctor to call him Edmond, let alone Ed. My moms problem was that the doctor even had the gall to call him by his first name at all, as opposed to Mr. McQuown. She believed that it was rude of the doctor to just assume it was okay to refer to her father by his first name, without him first granting the doctor permission. She figured the doctor would call him Mr. McQuown, and he would say “You can call me Jim.”
