Interview with reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian

"the crazy days of 2005" -- is that what we're calling them now? :)

I was sitting in the back row last year and I watched him prepare the presentation during the afternoon. I didn't know what he looked like at the time but seeing him work the alien on his laptop was a dead giveaway. And yes, I did talk to him and asked about his YC experience. It certainly made the idea of doing startups more real to me. (Sigh... working at a job-job these days, but still dreaming.)

For those of you who are going this year - remember to talk to other people; meeting other like-minded hackers is part of the Startup School experience.

"There were three founders – me, Steve, and Alexis. Steve and I did the programming and Alexis handled promotion and customer service and office management and business development and the myriad of other tasks that came up." -a chat with aaron swartz http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-05-07-n78.html
