CC: Can you provide a little info about yourself just so we can get to know a little bit about who you are?
JW: Sure, my parents are from Taiwan, but I was born on the east coast. I grew up in Arcadia, CA and went to college at UC Berkeley. After that, I worked for a couple months at an online jewelry e-tailer before I quit to work on Bankaholic full time.
CC: There's been a lot of criticism of blogs as credible news sources. What is your position on this?
JW: I trust blogs WAY more than mainstream media. Some people will say that corporate media is more accurate b/c stories are screened by editors and lawyers, but this is also one of the flaws. I like to read articles that are raw and unedited by people who are qualified to write about the topic. The perfect example is the Iraq war. Who would you trust more? an article from Fox News or a blog post from a Marine on the front lines?
I'd like to thank Johns for taking the time to talk to Murdok. I'm sure he is quite busy thinking about what to do with his newfound wealth. I'm not going to hunt down his college site and embarrass him. Although, if he got to where he is now by starting with that, how embarrassing can it really be? Congratulations Johns!
