what the shit? i do a lotta interviews and love doing ‘em…but late last spring, i did this “what people do all day” type of interview with hi magazine (yes, it’s in arab language, that’s the right link)…kinda against my better judgment, but they were really into my strange research work…hi magazine is this big middle eastern region ‘young culture’ rag put out by “the magazine group” in washington, dc… and they kinda maligned me via choppy editing and referencing items with poor context…it actually says, ‘david carpe, business spy’ (and it’s like a half page in print, that’s big type dudes and dudettes)

they used to be arab language only, but the mag took off, so now they’ve got an english language version up and running as well… initially, i was like, ‘whatever’ - because i don’t know many folks who can read character based languages…but now my mom and dad are probably gonna see this! …what a mess…i’m dishing it out for myself now before other people start finding this article and emailing me…rest assured that these folks edited out at least 90 percent of what came out of my mouth…for example, i do very litte conference and tradeshow competitive intelligence, and i worked in business after studying stone sculpture, and had already worked in research and founded a company before bschool… and yadda, yadda, yadda, can’t even get into it…

…only kinda bummed because i know that the next girl i ask out is probably gonna yahooglebot me and turn this whack bit up…(that’s right folks, i’ve just coined a term: yahooglebot is when you run a potential date’s name into every major search engine to see what kind of crap you can unearth)
