    *grin*
    Can we know more about Eliot Phillips and Will O'brien? Like.. what are their educational background and stuff.

    Also, how much dedication is needed to maintain a site like that?

    I'll think up more questions. When is the deadline?

    Do you work on HAD part time or fulltime. If HAD is part time then whats your day job?

    How often do you get emails asking for project ideas or seminar topics or hight school science projects? What used to be your reaction back when you started working for HAD, and what is it now?

    Can you tell us something about Toorcon, shmoocon, defcon and other conventions or con-ventions. What exactly do you do there? Who are present? and what can we learn from these conventions?

    Do you think being interested in a wide variety of topics which intertwine at many many levels can be stressful. Will it overload our internal logical circuitry? Whats the solution?

    Do you consider yourself a nerd/geek? or is it an overused term? Do you mind people calling you one of those names? Was this question annoying?

    I am always learning, and love to make stuff. What can you say about supporting this attitude and passion all the way till the end (of life)?

    ===Both of you can answer the questions, or you can select which ones to answer. Its your choice. Run with the questions and have fun!===

    Nice! I believe the reason why theres not much response here is because not many of us are exposed to Hack a Day (as opposed to Wikipedia..)

    Q. What is the future of HAD? Any plans to develop or change the website beyond it's status as a blog, or do you believe remaining as one is most effective?

    Feel free to rephrase the question xhx 😉

    Ok this thread is closed now. Biggie, I will send you the questions for a review before I send it out to Will. He will show the Q's to Elliot too. They both can answer questions however they like, they can answer common Q's or choose too.
