The latest issue of Fortune magazine has an interview with Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster — who may qualify as the world’s tallest free-standing chief executive, at six foot eight inches — in which the writer asks Jim some questions<\/a> provided by readers, and then asks some of his own. The answers are very similar to the ones that the Craigslist CEO gave to Mark Evans when he did a keynote interview with Buckmaster during mesh<\/a> (there’s video of their chat here<\/a>, thanks to mDialogue and Mark McKay).<\/p>\n

snipshot_e419d3j6hftv.jpgOne of the interesting things for me, because I’m nosy (occupational hazard, I’m afraid) came at the end of the interview, when Jim mentioned where he and his partner Susan Best like to go to relax: an organic farm called Emandal<\/a> in Mendocino County. I figured it must be some kind of swanky resort with a gourmet chef, but I should have known better, given Buckmaster’s disinterest in such trappings of wealth.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Emandal is a tiny, unassuming family farm on a back-country road in the middle of nowhere<\/a> and reportedly includes an ostrich named Huey. As it happens, one of the top results in Google for the term “Emandal” is a collection of photos from Smugmug of Jim and Susan enjoying their time<\/a> at the farm (including a visit with Huey<\/a>). Nice to see that Jim doesn’t just talk about not being interested in money — he acts like it too.<\/p>\n
