Nice one! I don't know if this is one of the ones you had lined up or it was arranged based on my suggestion but either way it's a cracker.
I've admired Snook for years now. The man is super clever but very much a no nonsense kind of guy. I've followed his blog for ages through it's various forms.
Also, he's Canadian, like me... so winner! :D

He's a really nice bloke is Jonathan. Very clever man.

i like this interveiw, i really liked the answer that he gives for what his first jobs were and the way he ended up in web design,
something that i would recommend is: at the start (in the introduction text) it be nice if you could include their age/DOB so that when they refer using dates (ie jonathan started to get into web in 1994) it be nice to see how old he was and so on
overall really like the idea

Another great interview - would be interested to see dates like Aurel, too.

I've been wanting to put a face to this name for a while now, great interview.
There's alot of insight into freelancing versus working for an actaul company, really insightful and has made me actaully thinking more about what I like doing, what I want to do and all that fun stuff.
I should spend time on things I like doing lol
