Kundra: White House Loaded with Geeks
By

The New York Times' Bits blog has a Q&A with federal CIO Vivek Kundra today. He doesn't break a lot of new ground, mostly giving his standard rundown on the administration's initiatives in the areas of transparency, cybersecurity, cloud computing, etc.
There's this great exchange near the end, though:
Are you the White House geek?
I think there are a lot of geeks in the White House. I'm definitely not the most geeky.
Kundra also reports that he keeps a brutal work schedule, reporting to the office at 4:30 a.m., and not leaving until 10 at night.
