[edit] Born and raised

I was under the impression that Alex was born and raised in Vienna, Virginia and moved to LA later in life. He has mentioned his family in Virginia on Diggnation many times, and has said his dad is involved in the Federal Government.

I agree that he has mentioned many times about a portion of his youth in Virginia. Francis Burdett 22:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

His dad is actually Dr. Mark Albrecht, the president of the ILS space association. He mentions that near the end in Diggnation episode #57 from 2006-08-03. I would add that to the article, but I have no clue about mother/[brothers|sisters] so I thought this is a good place to stick that. 21:40, 16 August 2006 (IST)

I just read this, and then saw on Alex's Mo-blog site (not current) That his sister must be some kind of journalist, and her name is Olivia. http://alexalbrecht.textamerica.com/?r=4212847 I don't know if family info is something generally put in wikipedia articles. But I saw the above post, and thought I'd add on.

[edit] Dell Commercials?

The article says that Albrecht is currently appearing in Dell commercials but I haven't seen him in those commercials for a while. Can someone confirm that he is still doing commercials for Dell and if he is not change the article to reflect that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Culled (talk • contribs) 21:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Alefox

I think the Alefox story does not deserve to take up so much space of the article and the weblink section as it currently does. It was a funny story for the two episodes in which it was mentioned. But since this "skin" for Firefox was not developed by Alex Albrecht himself, this is definitely not a major thing in Alex's life (probably more so in the life of the person who created it). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.174.82.170 (talk) 17:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Stoner?

Does anyone mind if I edit this with drtug addict it doesn't seem to be very "Correct" but then again those are his words.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DiggGuy (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

Maybe leave it as stoner, but put stoner in quotes, since stoner were Alex's words/ Plus stoner jsut invokes images of a pot user, while drug addict invokes images of a junkie. RenegadeCanuck 00:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isn't Diggnation at this point bigger than Screen Savers?

Doesn't Rev3 tout that they get way better ratings than techtv ever did? So wouldn't he mainly be known for diggnation instead of Screen Savers.

I dunno. You're comparing two different mediums, so it would be hard to judge. Personally, I would think that Screen Savers would be bigger. But, in terms of Alex, Diggnation is bigger, because he is a major part of that show, while he was only on the Screen Savers for a short amount of time. When talking about Alex, Diggnation is bigger.
