Don has a great interview on sun.com that's #1 in a series. It's really interesting to hear him tell his story about founding SmugMug.

And he's wearing the famous red hat! :D

    We're looking into ways of giving out the red hats like we are doing with camera straps and stickers. But we haven't yet found a supplier we like that does it cheap enough to give out thousands of them. Although we did give out a few hundred at our party last month.
