Starr says he doesn\u2019t entirely care what people on the Internet think of him, though he disagrees with most assessments. Entitled poster boy for the perceived self-absorption of an increasingly maligned techie caste\u2014that\u2019s never been him, Starr says: \u201cIf I was that bad, or if I had done half the things people accuse me of, I\u2019d be in jail.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Talk to those close to Starr, and they\u2019ll say he mellowed after the incident. \u201cEver since I met him, there have been people on the Internet who don\u2019t like Nick for some reason,\u201d says Brian Street, Starr\u2019s partner of two years. \u201cSo, yeah, it was a relief almost to not have to deal with that as much.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve known Nick since 2006..maybe slightly earlier. Actually, here\u2019s the first time we physically met in person back in St. Augustine Florida in 2007<\/a>. I consider Nick to be a friend. His online persona, much like mine, gets him into a lot of trouble. We\u2019re both outspoken know-it-alls on the Internet and while we may not embody that attitude in person, people don\u2019t take kindly to it.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Google Glass, I actually respect what Nick is doing. It is the future unlikes Bluetooth Ear Pieces, Glass has a great purpose as the first mainstream wearable technology. It has a long way to go but breaking the stigma around it is step one and Nick is leading the fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Seattle Weekly: Starr says he doesn\u2019t entirely care what people on the Internet think of him, though…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","category-technology","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-14E","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6748,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/04\/05\/linked-upcoming-org-is-back\/","url_meta":{"origin":4132,"position":0},"title":"Linked: Upcoming.org is BACK!","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 5, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Upcoming About Page: Shortly after they shut it down, Yahoo offered to sell the domain back to me, an unprecedented move for a former acquisition.
