Is Christopher Poole really moot's real/birth name?
- joshu 16y agoI will ask to see his birth certificate. My mother has met Moot... I should demand to meet his mom.
- paulgb 16y agoI realize this is getting off-topic from investing, but since that's the spirit of an AMA, is there an interesting story re: your mother meeting moot?
- joshu 16y agoNot really. It was after this event: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/19/arts/design/19rhizome.html http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/19/arts/design/19rhizome.html and I wanted to go to a diner.
- joshu 16y agoAnother funny story: So it must have been 2004 and Stewart from Ludicorp wanted to show me this new "Flickr" thing they'd built, which was a sort of online flash chat thingy. I'd logged in and poked around, and said something to the effect of "this is neat, but I wonder if somebody's mother could use it." Stewart said to call mine and see what she thought, so I did. A few minutes later, my mother comes into the chat room that Stewart and I are talking in. If I recall, nobody else is even logged into the system at the time. "Mom, this is Stewart. Stewart, this is my mother." Stewart says hello, she says hello, etc. My mother says: "This is very nice, but I have one question." Stewart: "What's that?" My mother: "How is this going to make any money?"
