What person would you interview?

[pjk]

There has been an interview section on Speedsolving.com for many years here:
http://www.speedsolving.com/index.php?pageid=interviews

Over the last year or 2, we haven't posted many interviews. There is a whole new generation of cubers (and many old ones), many whom we'd like to interview. So, please make some recommendations. It doesn't need to be a well-known cuber, though it can be. We just want to interview interesting people who are part of our community. As part your recommendation, please suggest questions you'd like to ask (for each person you recommend) and we will try our best to get these going. Please also include their Speedsolving.com username (if known) and put a good reason as to why you recommend this person.

When you reply, please reply using this template:

Interview suggestions:
1) Name: Sébastien Auroux - Sebastien - If I went through the list correctly, he's the only current WCA Board member that hasn't been interviewed yet.

- Questions: What are your thoughts regarding adding/removing official events?, What will the future of cubing be like and how would you like cubing to progress? (usual question)

2) Name: Marcin Kowalczyk - Maskow - Besides the usual questions, having beaten 6 World Records in 3x3 multi blind, it would be nice to know what his goals are and what does he think he will be able to achieve in this event.
- Questions: What do you see the limit being for 3x3 multi blind in a one hour limit?, How do you memorize/What is your memory method?
