It’s soon to be 4 years of my interest in and association with Lockergnome and its captain Chris Pirillo.
I admire Chris a great deal. Not just for being one of the most interesting and informed geeks I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with. He’s an amazing person at a more basic level. He’s a decent human being, and Chris knows that on my scale that is the highest compliment.
It might have to do with his Iowa roots. That well-known and often envied Mid-Western attitude; helpfulness, neighborliness, openness. Chris is the real deal.
I’m sure others I’ve met through this medium are just as nice, just as interesting. And I’d welcome the opportunity to get to know you all as well as I know Chris. Of course to facilitate this, it means all of you are going to have to publish to the web, a couple of books, maybe even a magazine article every month or so.
Because that’s how I first got to know Chris.
I’ve met four others the same way, and all proved to be as interesting in person as they were on the net. People really into the internet, those who work in and around it every day, are my kind of people. Geeks are to computers what racing car drivers are to drivers.
Then there’s the elite. Chris is among the elite, both as a geek and as a person. As are you, Adam, Aryeh and Frank.
