Paul Reynolds

On the 18th of May I recorded this Interview with Paul Reynolds. On the 23rd of May, Paul died from Lukemia. He was moving slowly, and seemed to be limping, which I assumed was from some injury and not an illness. He seemed healthy and as you can hear from the interveiw he was animated and in good spirts.

As I recall I wasn't feeling well at all this day, and almost called the interview off, due to the lack of time we had. But Paul was willing, and I was eager to start what I hoped would be a much longer conversation with him. I'm glad I did have the chance to talk with him, and capture this digital artifact of someone who cared and thought a lot about preserving digital artifacts.

The recording was about 20 minutes, and I played some bits from a video I found linked from Pauls blog to close out the episode.

There have been many tweets and memorials posted on the web honoring Paul.

In the interview, I ask Paul about how he feels about copyright, and from there our conversation wanders to some thoughts about the future of the Internet.

Thanks to Gravity Computing for sponsoring this episode.
