I need everyone's help! Interview with Linus

Hey everybody and hopefully Linus,

 

I am in my senior year of High School and the state I live in requires you to pass a thing called "Senior Project" to graduate. For this project I was originally going to build a computer but the project is supposed to be something you have never done. So I have decided for my project I want to create and publish a website that teaches people how to assemble a computer, it will have videos and pictures and lots of information on how to do so. I have all the Adobe programs so I will have enough resources to do this. However, by November 18th we are required to hand in an interview with someone in the field. I really wanted to interview Linus asking him questions about this topic either on the phone or on Skype or Razer Comms. I understand how busy Linus is and it is hard to find time for kids like me. It would take less than 30 minutes and I would really appreciate it if you could Linus! So I ask everyone to help me get Linus to notice this!

Private message him. I did when I needed him to do something for me, and while he declined, it was a slightly strange request. He was very kind. Very nice about it.

I rate him a 10/10 HTC Ones. HTC 10? HTC Ten? Possibly.

Take the caps off the title, it looks obnoxious.  You want to be as polite as possible with this not some kid screaming at him.

*Thread slowly crumbles away into the abyss that is LTT.... along with your chances of a high grade* :P

 

To Twitter!

how would interviewing Linus give me a bad grade? He isn't qualified? You are wrong.

So... is Linus going to reply? Good luck bro, Linus is busy but he may buy some time. (500k subs and more. Many people, lots of content)

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

LTT is getting even more serious.

yes, he is obviously qualified. Especially since my school says they have to be over 22 and have worked in the field.

I meant it that this thread would slowly be ignored, Linus would never see it, and you couldn't get a good grade from the project :P

obviously if he doesn't answer I will interview someone else, not just going to just fail my senior project and not graduate

1. I never discouraged it at all.

2. I meant that this "media group" is expanding even faster and larger. Of course it would.
