So... You did an interview with a microcelebrity, the story never ran, and you've been kicking yourself ever since? Not sure this is news, dude.

- azeemazhar2 17y agowell hardly every since. the thing that prompted it was a HN post on how to get in touch with PG; and I have really strong memories of the Viaweb story, mostly around my dad's heart attack. Check here: http://bit.ly/5e0XxJ http://bit.ly/5e0XxJ Bear in mind, this was in the days well before blogging when getting any story out involved fighting for column cm with other journalist, and a (necessarily) sceptical business editor. I know, it seems antiquated now! And I am not sure I said it was news. And yes, you may get semantic about this being news.ycombinator, but i'll leave you to do the detailed analysis of what qualifies since you have the media studies degree.
