Silicon Valley's elite sits in a pink room
This morning The Daily Deal told me that Wallstrip has a little West Coast competition. I don't know if I'd go that far.
Jesse Draper, recent UCLA theater grad, cable TV actress, and, oh yeah, daughter of venture capitalist Tim Draper (see, for context: Hotmail, Skype, Baidu), is Valley Girl (original and timely), a big-smiled, fuzzy-slippered interviewer of Silicon Valley luminaries like Sun Microsystems chairman Scott McNealy, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Craigslist founder Craig Newmark. The questions are, um, definitely questions. (To McNealy: "Do you recycle?" "What do you think of recycling?")
It's kind of shocking to me that these people, who have real jobs, have time for this. Still, I couldn't look away.
Barbara!

Baffling! Just... baffling. Is this not the worst 'Valley Girl' act you've ever seen? From an actual valley girl?But hey, she did get us tantalizingly close to knowing what Scott McNealy's guilty pleasure is... Now I'll always wonder. (If I had to guess, I'd go with 'anonymously posting Sun propaganda on internet forums.' Seems to be the thing these days.)

"It's kind of shocking to me that these people, who have real jobs, have time for this."
Whats amazing is she has probably found the ultimate geek niche - talk about software with a girl in a pink room. Now which super techie could resist that.

I feel that somebody should point out here that Jesse's Aunt Polly is/was an actress of some repute (thirtysomething was her biggest gig). And apparently I'm that somebody.
