The NYTimes is running a piece on mashups written by Anne Eisenberg which has a section on Popfly with quotes from John. I was involved with this piece, though quite tangentially.

A few weeks ago, I was going through my check-mail-first-thing-after-waking-up routine with my personal mail account. Instead of clearing out of my junk folder without checking it (as I usually do), I saw a mail there from Anne. My mental reaction in the first few seconds went from "This must be a hoax" to "Oh cr*p - someone from the NYTimes got my email id from my blog. Did I just blog something which I'm going to get fired over?"

Thankfully, neither was true :).

Anne - if you're still reading, thanks for the kind words about my writing skills :-)
