Rob CmdrTaco Malda AMA On Reddit

TheNextCorner writes with news on where CmdrTaco has been hiding. Quoting Malda's IamA blurb over at that Reddit thing: "In 1997 I started Slashdot.org. For several years, we pioneered news aggregation and on-line communities while exploring our niche of the 'net under the slogan, 'News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters.' Our work was later expanded upon at countless other more successful sites including Reddit and the Huffington Post. I left Slashdot last year, took a long time off, and then started work at the Washington Post Co's WaPo Labs their digital media R&D skunkworks group. I work as their Chief Strategist and Editor-at-Large, contributing what I can to a variety of projects ranging from their Social Reader, to some projects under development. From here I am able to continue to explore my interests in news, journalism, technology, and communities. ... I'll hopefully be answering from 2pm-5pm ET"

Outside of the fluke that is slashdot, what else has he done. And who really cares (besides his mom)?

  I heard he posted on reddit this one time. That, like everything else, is a step up from being a slashdot editor.

He became locked in his car and ate himself to death. Very tragic.

I'll probably get howled out because I shouldn't be allowed on Slashdot if I don't know, but what does AMA stand for here? Against medical advice?
