About

I’m Waldo David Landers Jaquith (JAY-kwith). I live in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I am the Web Editor for Virginia Quarterly Review. I graduated from Virginia Tech in May of 2005 and from the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership in December of 2005.

My wife Amber and I were married on September 4 of 2005. I’ve hiked most of the Appalachian Trail. I once ran for City Council. I ride a motorcycle and own firearms. I ride a unicycle, and I’ve been known to juggle and eat fire. I’ve won two VH1 Music Awards. I saved Al Gore’s life. I received the first-ever e-mailed subpoena. When I’m squinting and blond, I look like this. When I’m all like maybe-I’m-running-for-office-maybe-I’m-not, I look like this.

Bob Gibson of the Charlottesville Daily Progress says I have "a wicked sense of humor." Forbes says that I’m a "grizzled veteran of the Internet scene". Some Romanian magazine says of me "Inca un geniu tinar care se manifesta mai degraba in ciuda sistemului decit datorita acestuia? S-ar parea ca da, iar lista n-a ajuns deocamdata la capat." Max says I’m "a huge tool."
