I'm impressed by the honesty. Doesn't seem to be the arrogant guy many people play him up to be.

I don't know Arrington personally, but this articles makes him sound very arrogant. Is this how he is normally?

Doesn't seem arrogant, just seems to be quite the introvert.

I loathe Inc.'s site. The interstitial pop-up. The toolbar. Terrible, really. But I enjoyed the piece.

For some reason on page 2 some javascript kept scrolling the page all the way down like every 20 seconds... so annoying. I ended up copying the text to a text editor.

Same, I was holding the scrollbar with my mouse's left button down to prevent that!

lack of sleep, lack of patience, overload of work and very hard on himself I'd say make it that way.

I dealt with him only once and briefly, and it went just like a business transaction, straight to the point. No worries there.

Yeah, I thought I was dreaming at first like I was on some spam site that was trying to take me to the ad. As far as the article goes, very interesting to get into the psyche of someone whose blogs we read on a continuous basis. Whether you love him or hate him, humanizing people always helps break the online barrier.
