A simple story of a man who watched way too much Gilligan's Island instead of interacting with friends and family, made millions pioneering video over the web before it was really feasible (pseudo.com), pretty much lost his mind, set up a voyeuristic fascist experiment with a lot of nudity, drugs, sex, firearms, and public elimination in a NYC basement for a few weeks, pretty much lost his mind, got shut down by the cops, broadcast the most intimate details of his girlfriend's and his life 24/7, pretty much lost his mind, abused his girlfriend on live video to the 5 people that were still watching, became an apple farmer for a few years, pretty much lost his mind, decided to start up a new online video service (operator11), pretty much lost his fortune (and maybe his mind), alienated what tenuous family relationships he had left, moved to africa to coach basketball and might still be there.

Okay, there you go, now you don't have to watch it (sorry about the spoiler).
