Im Colin Nederkoorn. I left my cushy job in sales to become a web entrepreneur.

Digg that!
Last night I met a guy that I hate / respect (it’s the same emotion): Kevin Rose. Kevin is the founder and man behind Digg.com , the 106th most popular site on the net (according to alexa).
It was interesting to meet a guy like Kevin Rose whom I have only ever seen on the other side of a screen - like on Tech TV or Diggnation. He always looks so calm and confident when he is in front of a camera. When I met him I noticed that it seemed like a nervous experience for him to interact with strangers. It’s probably an awkward feeling when other people know more about you than you do about them.

Life sometimes affords us these opportunities to glimpse into the “real” of a person. When it happens to me, it greatly affects my life. My wife talks about being a little kid and meeting Richard Nixon, I worked in a restaurant and served Andre Agassi… my father-in-law knew Bill Clinton… it’s odd how these events sear our brains with permanent impressions.
For guys like you and me, the chance to meet geeks who’ve made it– not a 1990s dot com millionaire per se, I speak of the web entrepreneurs who have the same goals we do, the people we can learn from — maybe sometimes we forget how we are all, underneath it all, a bunch of nerds, geeks with a common cause and a lot in common.
I hope to someday meet up with the people I deal with on a daily basis online. Like John Cow who is a really nice guy, or John Biggs who’s helped out with the Dead Mule, or even you perhaps? The world is made smaller when we know each other.
