Foster is another person where I feel like I’ll probably someday be saying ‘I knew him when,’ and I might already be saying that now. Several years ago, I posted about his blog, and he emailed to say thanks. We kept in touch, and eventually profiled him for a project on interns. Then he started a couple of really awesome blogs, got a book deal, and ditched his job in NYC to live the dream and travel the country in a van that is only occasionally parked down by the river.
