The Questionnaire

What are you doing these days?
These days I’m working on two shows, and they pretty much take up all of my time! Tekzilla is my technology-centric show that I co-host with Patrick Norton on Revision3. We answer view questions and do product reviews; it comes out once a week, plus we have shorter daily tips as well! The other show is called Qore, and it’s all about PS3 titles. You can watch it by downloading it over the PlayStation Network!

What turns you on creatively?
Caffeine.

If you were a mind-reader whose mind would you like to read?
That’s a good one. Right now it would probably be Steve Jobs, just so I could know what they’re announcing for Macworld next week and tip everyone off. Plus, it would be great to know what really goes on inside his head.

If you could travel in time, which era would you visit?
This is going to sound cheesy, but I’ve always wanted to see medieval Europe. Maybe I read too many fantasy novels, but it does seem like a romantic and adventourous time to live in. Except for the Crusades and bubonic plague.

What is your favorite sound?
The fog horns in the Bay early in the morning.

What is the album or song that influences you the most?
Too many to count! Right now I’m loving the new Cut Copy album, but my all-time favorite band is the Smashing Pumpkins.

Who would you like to collaborate with? And why?
Some day I would love to meet/work with Jamie and Adam from the Mythbusters. Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is also a huge favorite of mine. Doing a show or a project with one of them would be amazing!

What drives you crazy?
People on their cell phones in public or while driving.

What makes you laugh?
My cats crack me up, and on a related note I’m always a sucker for a good lolcat. Otherwise, I love Zero Punctuation – he says all the things about video games  that I could never get away with.

If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
Eat whatever I want and never gain weight, world peace, and more wishes.

What is the craziest thing you ever did?
The craziest thing for me was flying a Cessna on an episode of Mahalo Daily! That was so much fun, but also terrifying.

What makes you feel embarrassed?
I hate it when I make typos on Twitter – especially when hundreds of people point it out to me.

What are your favorite web-sites (not including the ones that you are participate in)?
Buzzfeed, Photoshop Disasters, Engadget, too many to name, really.

What is the silliest thing you have ever done?
I dressed up in a bear suit for a friend’s music video.

How would you make the world a better place?
I guess the only way I really know how – try to teach people about technology and how to use it to make their lives easier.

What is your biggest weakness?
Velveeta.

Where will you be in 10 years?
Your guess is as good as mine! Hopefully hosting a show I love, maybe have a family?

Write a question that you like to ask yourself and answer it.
Did you really need to eat that peppermint chocolate biscotti?
No.

Who would you like to answer that Questionnaire?
This questionnaire? How about Gary Vaynerchuk?
