Man... How do I love to read their stories! Keep 'em coming. 
I want to start asking unique questions to people. Please list some questions you'd like asked, and I will try to get to them.

I have a good one:
Do you have any intentions on giving up cubing? If so, why and at what point are you giving it up? If not, what do you plan to do when you're too old to cube competitively?

What does that mean, "too old to cube competitively"? Meaning when you're no longer able to turn a cube? I guess I would do blindfold solves in my head then.

Somehow I was expecting that answer from you Mike.

"too old to cube competitively"? means that you have to be at least as old as Ron van Bruchem because he got 2 WR's in the last year.

Rune is older than God but still compeates...
A interview question: "do you think speedcubing will become an Olympic event in the future?"
It's not impossible, at each game there are some sports that are in the games just once. It is so to put some focus on sports that may grow big in the future. Frisbee was once I know so why not cubing
Work on it Tyson

I don't think cubing will ever be a spectator sport. We have just gotten too fast so the audience wouldn't be able to follow it. At the last US Open (and Nationals) I had 2 guests watching the 3x3x3 final and they got borred after the first 6 competitors
I think it may become one sometime. 2 people getting bored, so what? When I first started watching I couldn't look away. I'm sure many people are like that. Others think it is way over their head. It all depends on what type of mindset you have.

Joël and I were racing eachother just for fun at a ''beach bar'' after going to the movies (I recommend Hancock, very funny movie) and there was a foreign guy who walked off and said ''Too slow for me.'' either he saw some crazy Youtube videos or he was just acting tough.
But I heard more positive then negative response from the audience overall.
That sounds like pure jealousy to me.

Would it be possible to make a main Interviews page which would list the names and pictures of the people who have been interviewed? Of course to look at the interviews themselves you would just click on the person's name or image. I think this would be better than a listing of all the interviews by date because then you could see if a particular cuber has been interviewed without going through them all, and you could also perhaps collect statistics on which ones have been viewed the most. You could also tell what kind of people make the most popular interviews and then choose new people to interview based on the ones the community is most interested in.
What are your plans for who you are going to interview, by the way? Are you just going to interview well-known cubers every week or so until you run out of ideas, or do you have a sort of list in your head of all the people you want to get interviews for?

Definitely a good idea. I've been thinking about ways to display the interviews better, so I will work on that.
As far as who I interview, it is basically just suggestions from users and then some thoughts of my own. I ask people every so often, some say yes, some same no, so I go from there. I am not just interviewing well-known, I am interviewing people that I think other people want to see more of, as well as people who have had a notable accomplishment. It will be awhile before it runs out. Worse case scenario is we just interview random Speedsolving.com members, you never know who you will find that is interesting.
If you have anymore suggestions as far as questions, layouts, people to interview, etc, please post. I'm definitely interested in hearing them. Expect some nice new interviews soon that you guys will probably be interested in.
Thanks.
