News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hi. I am that guy. And we do have some generic offshoots to do other products. But the car thing is our first project, followed by international versions of it. (We're bootstrapping, after all.)

"Hi. I am that guy."

This reminds me of the scene in "Annie Hall" where the guy behind Woody Allen keeps pontifcating about Marshall McLuhan until McLuhan shows up in person to refute him...

  I hear-I heard what you were saying.  
  You-you know nothing of my work.  You 
  mean my whole fallacy is wrong.  How you 
  ever got to teach a course in anything is 
  totally amazing.

  Boy, if life were only like this!
Hey Alvy, it finally is thanks to hacker news. Another reason why I love it here!

I may have been watching this movie as you typed this message. That was one of my favorite scenes.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't pontificating. Awful analogy.

The analogy was in the real guy showing up, not in any comparison with you and the guy in line. Sorry if I implied otherwise. My mistake.

One of the things I love about here is that you never know who may suddenly pop up. I always thought that was really cool.
