That was awesome! In my last post I told you about Cringely’s NerdTV and where to get the first episode, but I actually hadn’t watched it at that point—it was still downloading. But now that I’ve watched it, I’m blown away. It was incredible. A very simple interview, with Bob asking Andy Hertzfeld (the first Macintosh programmer…ever) basic, but good questions, and Andy recounting some amazing stories from his adventures in high tech. My two favourites: Steve Jobs phoning up Bill Gates to apologize for something he said, and Donald Knuth and the story of the source code for the original Mac Paint program. Go watch it for yourself. And if you can’t download video, there are mp3s of the audio available too.
