cool i'll be first then....this is a bit too big to post into the video thing of the day i think...

NerdTV, by pbs and whyy has just released it's second episode. These things are one hour interviews each and they get into a lot of little detail. They interviewed Andy Hertzfeld, they r claiming was the first macintosh programmer ever, on the first episode. This guy did develop a lot of the underlining systems code for the original mac and he has some nifty ideas...though that interview did get a bit boring at parts. The second episode is of Max Levchin, co-founder of paypal. Here he is interviewed for an hour after the third all nighter he pulled that week. He's fairly space, but seems more truthful. This one is pretty fun. It's even more interesting when you compare the first and the second. Both people are good coders/engeneers, but have very diferent philosophies on life and what it means to be succesfull. check these out hope u find them as interesting as I did.
