A catch phrase will go here soon.

I've been tagged… five things you don't know about me.

12/19/2006

I knew this day would come. I’ve been tagged in by one of these blog chain letters. Amanda tagged me, so now I have to tell you five things you didn’t know about me. This is extremely hard, of course, since I’ve been blogging, podcasting, and doing interviews for such a long time–I live a very public life.

  1. I was in a movie a couple of years ago called Center of the World.

  2. Sometimes I go to the most disgusting dive of a casino (called Hollywood Park) by the Los Angeles airport and play poker alone for six hours with the dregs of humanity–and love it.
  3. I cried at the end of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. A lot. I don’t know why.
  4. I miss working at AOL–no, really I do.
  5. My dream job is taking over for Charlie Rose when he retires.

OK, that was extremely uninteresting. Now I have to torture five other folks by tagging them to do this… so, I tag: Brian, Mark, CK, Ted, and the GothamGal. I’m sorry guys, but I’m picking you in part because I know you will think this is dumb and not respond. :-)

Note: Die Jeff Pulver, die for starting this. :-)

Note2: Best response so far goes to–of course–1938 media.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
