fifteen; Steve, Surly Fixed Gear (the winter bike)


At five, computers were his AYSO; how he learned to play with others. His parents, both professors, naturally scraped his TV at two.
He refers to going to MIT as when he lived in Boston and started riding a fixed gear.
What he did learn in college was how to interact with people, not how to program interfaces.
“I think, ‘what do I want the user to do’”
He makes his job sound like a Social Psychology experiment, trying to motivate button-pushers to learn, manipulating us through binary and html, imbedding his best intentions from a coffee shop in Berkeley.
