This is the best thing I read today
Well, maybe not the best thing, but it should come as no surprise that I loved pretty much all of this interview with Nolan Smith (and Kyle, too, but it was mostly the Nolan parts that made me want to tell everyone I know about it).
A few choice Q&As:
Q. Tell me an idea you wish you had thought of.
Singler: The iPod. It makes sense and has great applications. I use it all the time.
Smith: The iPhone. Everybody wants one.Q. A fantasy job?
Singler: Astronaut. I would like to go in space just for the experience.
Smith: Take Reggie Love’s job as right-hand man to President Barack Obama.
Q. Any pet peeves?
Singler: I hate being interrupted.
Smith: I hate being poked and when people stare at me. I am a friendly person and want people to feel free to come up and talk to me.Q. Web sites:
Singler: AddictingGames.com, datpiff.com, and stumbleupon.com.
Smith: Any sports web site and Twitter. Twitter allows me to connect with fans and followers.
Q. Gadgets:
Singler: Nerf Guns.
Smith: I love gadgets. I have two phones – the iPhone and the Blackberry Tour. I give the edge to the iPhone because of all the apps.
And, the kicker:
