I got a request to a phone interview by a journalist at Wired magazine. I have declined the interview request because I don't think my parents would appreciate my getting interviews and I don't think they would understand exactly why. Also, I don't particularly feel like doing one at the moment anyway.
Has anyone else gotten phone interviews?
I haven't, but there was a reporter from Wired (Daniel Pink) at the recent meetup in NYC.

Yup, he was the guy who asked if I wanted to be interviewed or not.

The reason is that a bunch of us who are huge huge HUGE fans of your work were going on and on about it in New York. I think you are perfectly right to decline the interview if you don't want to do it, but at the same time, I think your parents would be quite proud -- it's going to be a very favorable writeup of you and your work, I'm sure.
Could make for a nice thing to slip into a college application, too, if you care about that sort of thing.
