After seeing a profile of the Urban Pioneer Project in ReadyMade magazine, I decided to join their project. From readng the magazine, I thought it was an urban sustainability project, but when I got on the site, it looked like a YASN service like Friendster or Orkut. Now that I'm Urban Pioneer #00875, I'm not sure what it is. But in the spirit of sharing, I decided to paste my answers to their membership questionaire below.

Howdy!
I'm interested in being deemed an "Urban Pioneer". Here is the data that you are asking for:

1.Your Name: Chris McConnell

2.Your Age: 28

3.City and Neighborhood: Cherrywood in East Austin

4.Profession: Ph.D. Student, Radio-TV-Film, UT-Austin

5. A few sentences about your interests: In school I study online and broadcast media, particularly relating to progressive social movements. I am also interested in social networking and community-building projects like Friendster, Meetup, and, perhaps, Urban Pioneers. I'm developing a an avocational interest in Urban Sustainability, especially in bike advocacy. I miss that folky punk-art I used to see when I lived in West Philly; the art scene here seems more academic. In West Philly, I developed a taste for country music; in Austin I've gotten into experimental electronic music and IDM.

6. How you heard about us: I learned of your project through _ReadyMade_ magazine.

Best of luck,
-C

Do they give you an electronic nametag which shows the current market value of your stock options, like some startups used to do?
