Because I moved away from Silicon Valley in 2000, to Padova, Italy, where there are actually women (in proportion to men (asterisk)), young people, old people, not everyone is employed in something to do with software, and ordinary people can afford houses.
This guy deserves a lot of credit. As far as I can tell he came out of no where (with a stupid name "Center Networks") and is now getting a Techcrunch/Mashable level of attention. The advertising revenue for these blogs is insane too, so he may already be making tens of thousands of dollars per month. The business of talking about startups is a lot more profitable than many startups themselves.
