He was a hero of mine: when I grew up, I wanted to work at Netscape. It worries me he runs a nightclub now: if your idols want to leave the industry, what does it say about the industry?

Given how much trouble he has had running a nightclub, for years and years, I don't think he picked that for any reason other than it being what he really wanted to do.
