About Me:

  • I started this blog in 1998.
  • I am the co-founder of Hunch.com, which is launching soon!
  • I am the co-founder of Flickr almost certainly the best photo management and sharing application in the world.
  • Before that we built Game Neverending. We loved it. RIP Game Neverending!
  • I can be reached at caterina at caterina dot net
  • My Wikipedia entry seems fairly accurate
  • "Fake" is my real name. It was anglicized from the German, "Feick" in the 1500s. Fake acquired its present meaning only in the 19th century, afaik. I still maintain my grandfather had the worst of all possible names: Leverne Mucklow Fake. He was a lawyer who once met in court another lawyer named Abel Crook. He also told tall tales so who knows if this is actually true.
