Gabe It My All

Here's another "Gabe" interview.

I wonder if Gabe ever thinks "Why doesn't someone ask me anything else besides 'How the hell does Techmeme' work?". Perhaps he'd like to be asked about dwarf tossing. Or maybe whether he's hotter than David Heinemeier Hansson? Geek hotness, now there's a market Gabe could corner. Somehow people are always kissing him. Doesn't this deserve a booty call? Use that Ph.D!

Oh yeah, he's never referred to as "Dr" Rivera. No one asks him what his Ph.D. was all about. No one asks him about grand Chau-Wen-ges. Or about Joshua Burdick. Or Clyde Kruskal. Or how it was like pumping gas for the first time in Maryland.

Instead poor Gabe is subjected to the usual humdrum of questions. I think this should motivate him to create a completely different site. Perhaps it can be finding good restaurants. That still needs lots of work. The real problem is there's no good audience to go there. But the great news is that Gabe already has an audience that is technically literate. Maybe he could get them to do stuff.

Does anyone ask him why he has no middle name? Or how he loves making chocolate cake? Or why he likes Frank Black?

No, it's always "What algorithm do you use?". Even Sergey Brin seems to get spared these kinds of questions. (What algorithm does Google use for search?).

How about "Gabe, can you say 'WeSmirch' three times without cracking a smile?'. I think not.
