Welcome to Stack Exchange podcast episode #67, recorded live from Stack Exchange HQ in NYC on August 11, 2015. Today's podcast is brought to you by [the Stockwell Garage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockwell_Garage), a Grade II* Listed Building since 1988. Joining us on today's podcast are <NAME>, <NAME>, host <NAME> -- and special guest [<NAME>](http://twitter.com/anildash) of [Makerbase](https://makerba.se)! (Anil says he's never been invited on the podcast before, but that is [a dirty lie](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/23367254#23367254).)

Many know Anil because he comes free with every new Twitter account. There is a *small* number of other places you might know him from:

* He's on [the board of Stack Exchange, Inc.](http://stackexchange.com/about/management)
* He's on the board of [Data & Society](http://www.datasociety.net)
* He's on the board of [the Lower East Side Girls Club](http://www.girlsclub.org)
* He's on the board of [NY Tech Meetup](https://nytm.org)
* He's an advisor to [Medium](https://medium.com)
* He's an advisor to [Donors Choose](http://www.donorschoose.org)
* He's a cofounder of [Activate](http://activate.com), along with [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/ginatrapani) 
* He and Gina founded [ThinkUp](https://www.thinkup.com)
* He and Gina just released [Makerbase](https://makerba.se)
* He co-created [Monegraph](http://monegraph.com) (not to be confused with MoneyGram)
* He directed [Expert Labs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_Labs)
* He's got [a little blog you might have heard of](http://anildash.com)

Whew.

When Anil started blogging, he felt he was late to the party (and [said so in Vanity Fair](http://www.vanityfair.com/news/daily-news/2014/11/twitter-anil-dash)).  And while it's true that he didn't invent blogging ([Justin did](http://links.net), probably), he certainly wasn't late to the scene either - he started his blog in 1999. Also, he's Prince's #2 fan (right behind [?uestlove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questlove)).

So! Anil's current all-consuming project is [Makerbase](https://makerba.se), which is sort of like IMDb for digital projects.
