Thiel was definitely nervous, but what he did say was awesome and interesting. I wish Arrington wouldn't have interrupted him EVERY OTHER SENTENCE. Christ. I wanted to hear what Thiel had to say, not Arrington's cheap shots about Slide and Chess.

From pictures and hearing about him I thought he would be more of a jock, but he was more of a ultimate geek.

I wish I could find the link to the quote by him, but when he was at Paypal they actively tried to not hire jocks.
