Thanks, Shri!

I'm Erik Stuart, a 30-something married guy living in San Mateo, CA. I'm in eBay's corporate strategy group, and I lead eBay's efforts to look at & develop relationships with internet startups. (Posts about Web 2.0, the internet, and anything else are my fault and don't reflect on my employer, except to the extent that they hired me and continue to keep me around.) I'll also blog about sports, games, musical theater, economics/physics/other science stuff, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Thanks, Shri!

I am indebted to Shripriya Mahesh for many, many things, a relatively minor one of which is this post. This blog is, in fact, primarily the result of her nagging me to start blogging for… well, quite a long time. (Right, Shri?) :)

Blogging isn’t a natural act for me, yet - it’s not a kind of conversation to which I’m accustomed - and Shri deserves the credit for pushing me out of my comfort zone. I’m still in the process of figuring out exactly where and how to carve out a blogging niche, so in the meantime, bear with me as I meander through a broad swath of topics: basketball, puzzle hunts, economics, physics, poker, chess, the internet and Web 2.0, the Olympics (that’s probably going to dominate this space in August)…
