   Didn’t know you had an umlaut.

   The name was a old concatenation of an Estonian prefix and a Swedish suffix. Somehow the DMV lost the accent over the years. =)

   And in Texas, my Dad went from Tõnu to Tony, and my mom went from Tiiu to Tia.

   I remember her trying to get her name across on the phone, eventually succeeding with a twang: "Tia, as in Tia Maria"

   uhm… Tia Maria!

   I liked the full article and the pics selected, (which starts on page 23, no less).

   Did they decide on that burning Internet question? I need to know before I make any more big career choices.

    At first blush – a nice complementary article.

    But on further reflection – what a disappointment and lost opportunity to paint what could/should have been a fascinating portrait of a renaissance polymath in possession of both a left brain and a right brain.

    The article concentrated overly on Steve the VC, completely neglecting Steve the Photog, or Steve the Rocket scientist, or Steve with his special piano, or Steve the cliff-top beach-bum, or Steve the long-distance mountain biker, or…. any number of other insights.

    OK – half a woot!

    "A singing and dancing nation" – sorry, but it just conjures a monty python parody 😉

    Fantastic! You’re a Coverboy.
    Now I’m curious to know what the article "Internet-Friend or Foe?" concluded.

    I wholeheartedly agree with your comment about "false heroes" in basketball stars and rock idols, versus scientists and mathematicians. Did you read the book "Unscientific America," which addresses that very point from the perspective of why scientists rarely communicate effectively? Perhaps you could do a piece or event with the authors.

    Good article, but what does Andrus Viirg mean that you’re one of Sand Hill Road’s "young and angry men"?

    If that’s true, you sure hide your temper well on Flickr, as adjectives like curious and creative seem far more believable . 🙂

    No idea…. Maybe he was singing along to Billy Joel or Styx…

    How can you be such an angry young man
    When your future looks quite bright to me
    How can there be such a sinister plan
    That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
