My Inspiring Neighbor

I was chatting with my neighbor Alex, he told me he is working on some website startup ideas, one of them is sportsmatch.us, an online community for sport fans. He hired a few programmers in Ukraine, his home country, He hosts the site in his garage. That's pretty interesting. He even showed me his server rack in the garage, a 6-feet tall cabinet filled with black boxes, looks professional, I guess because his day-job is managing web traffic for business use, so as he said, "consumer web hosting is nothing".

He spoke passionately about web 2.0 business. Considering he has 2 kids, one of them newly born, and a day-job, it's amazing he can find time to do this. I should learn from him.
(BTW, this link to the site can boost its Google ranking a little, but he still going to pay for SEO, just kidding)
