Austin Hill turns the tables on me
From 1999 until the summer of 2002, I worked in the communications department for a software company called Zero-Knowledge Systems (now Radialpoint). This trip to the other side of the media divide (I was working as a freelance journalist prior to taking the job) was a wonderful experience for me, and one of the best parts was working with all of the great people at the company. One of those folks was Austin Hill, who co-founded the company along with his father and brother.
Austin is now at work on Akoha, his latest tech start-up, and he's also blogging up a storm here. Austin has started doing interviews with folks in the Montreal tech and blogging community and he recently put me in front of the microphone. You can read the interview here. (I sent him one of my new, professional-looking headshots for the interview, but he opted instead for one that features me having way too much fun at a company holiday party from years ago. Damn you, open bar!) Give it a read, and I highly recommend Austin's blog to anyone interested in the technology/entrepreneurship/start-up scene.
