#2I like KR, but I wish I knew the true story from the Digg days til now. He needs to write an autobiography or something. I feel like there's a lot of subtext that I'm missing. We get to see the news of him joining Google, going part time, leaving but still "an advisor". These are all what the public sees. But what's the real story? I know there must be more to it.

#3Times have really changed... North Technologies domain name is:
n-o-r-t-h-t-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-i-e-s.com

Wow. I guess it doesn't really matter to them considering they're building multiple products. The domains for those products are probably more important unless they were branding the products with North.

My office firewall blocked the site due to it being in the category "adult".
I wonder what (obviously poorly crafted) filter/rule it triggered.. Too many dashes?

Domains with lots of dashes are usually webspam, exact match domains.
I don't think there's any correlation with porn.

What do you mean? He started a company (Milk) that was bought as an acquihire. He worked at Google Ventures while he vested (and it was probably a good job while he got married, etc), but after a few years wanted to get back out there and build. He spent a few months transitioning out of GV (he had invested in a lot of companies; he couldn't just walk away), and now he's working full time on North.
I'm sure there's a lot we don't know, but it seems pretty straightforward.

Might start a trend. m-i-c-r-o-s-o-f-t.net is available for 12 bucks

His story is fascinating.
Some of us grew up watching him on TechTV, then he catches magic in a bottle with Digg, has a chance to sell for hundreds of millions, tragically loses that chance as his company loses traction and the upstart competitor (Reddit) becomes the one hosting amas by actors and politicians.
His story is almost Jobsian.
