One of my favorite things about interviewing YACHT was that Jona Bechtolt was the first of my rockstar guests to be impressed by my Geek Cred. When I introduced my camera person (and one of my personal music gurus), Maura Johnston, as my "Web 1.0" friend, Jona responded "What, did you meet on a Web Ring?!"

That gave me an opening to say that I was a designer for the first commercial web site (Global Network Navigator) back in early '93 and that I had written a number of web design books for O'Reilly. These little tidbits of my personal bio might fly over the head of anyone else, but Jona—a well-known geek himself—was wide-eyed with appreciation… he made ME feel like a rockstar!

After hitting it off right away, we went on to have a lively chat about the usual food stuff. I think you can tell how much fun I was having. But I suspect that Jona and Claire have fun like that wherever they go… being positive is part of the YACHT brand. You definitely get back what you give.
