Oh, my gosh.

How long do you have?

You know, it's really weird.

I was in college, and I thought that maybe this blogging thing was something that I wanted to do.

So I kind of monitored Lifehacker.

I went back into their history and kind of looked at how often they were hiring interns and doing stuff like that.

um, set up a little personal blog for myself.

So I had writing samples to send them, even though, even though no one was reading this blog that I was writing, I knew that it would be beneficial when I went to apply for an internship or a job.

Um, I applied for an internship by some miracle of whatever, got the internship.

And, uh, it's been kind of, uh, a whirlwind ever since.

Um, why go to lifehacker?

Yeah.

Because it was my favorite site on the net.

And I would have, you know, I thought that if I was lucky enough to get the internship there, maybe it would lead to a job at some other smaller tech blog one day.

What year was what year was that?

This was in 2009.

And how old are you now?

So I started as an intern about a month into my internship.

The editor in chief at the time said, you know, you seem to be really into this.

You are a good writer.
