Oh! I didn't know about Jacked. Will take a gander. Thanks. I'm so careful about the Carmack/Romero comparison for Me/Steve precisely because things go so spectacularly bad for Romero...and I'm no Carmack.

There was a mother and a father - I'll let you decide which role was fulfilled by me and Steve.

Yeah, sorry, it's US + Canada launch on Oct 1. We haven't yet sold the intl rights, I think. BUT! I'm thinking of doing something w/o my publisher's permission :) and doing events in London, Berlin, HK, and maybe Pa

Thanks, Nrsolis. Do they also live in NY? contact AT alexisohanian is probably the best way - I'm a traveling man the next month + planning the tour (as well as doing regular YCing).

Well, the plan was to do it all via RV :) what's the best university to do it at? I could always use another excuse to go back to Hawaii....

I was raised in Columbia, MD and my dad lives outside of Towson these days, so yes. I'd love to stop by on the http:/withouttheirpermission.com book tour! Details will be on the site soon, but I'm planning a legendary 100 sto

Thanks! I've already got a few offers from vendors who want to make "Citizen" hats... all proceeds to EFF of course.

Right - Kindle and nook! http://www.amazon.com/Without-Their-Permission-Century-ebook... http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/without-their-permission-ale... Would that suffice?

1. I've actually tried not to read too many other entrepreneurship books -- something Zach Weiner taught me (he doesn't read many other webcomics) to encourage creativity. That said, some books that have helped me be he entreprene

Thanks btw! I wonder if it has something to do with not being in the Valley bubble... http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130219190155-44...

Hmm, yeah, it did so-so on /r/politics, maybe it'll have more luck on /r/technology -- most of the time I'm happy there isn't a Kevin Rose <-> digg relationship between me <-> reddit, but every

I've been doing public speaking for a while now (e.g., my TED talk was back in '09 http://www.ted.com/talks/alexis_ohanian_how_to_make_a_splash... ) but live TV 'debate' is a whole 'nother beast

I'm curious - why no discussion of reddits?

The author's point about "entrepreneurs" not being exclusive to the world of startups is exactly what I hope to show with my book this fall. It's a dangerous mindset because in this internet age, we need more people to be thinking about t

The author touches on this, but I've always been fascinated with how little awareness there is in the USA about Japanese atrocities (like the Rape of Nanking and Unit 731) compared to the well-known and oft-discussed atrocities of the Nazis
