It's an academic language. Many college/university academics are Lisp/Haskell/etc. fans.
Looking at his resume ( http://xahlee.org/PageTwo_dir/Personal_dir/Xah_Lee_Resume.html ) the only good skill he has there is Java, but the market for that is getting saturated. With no C/C++, and basically all Lisp and web development stuff (again another saturating market) it's not surprising he hasn't found a job.
High school dropout. No degree.
Definitely not something to put on your resume; it should be a statement of what you have accomplished, not what you haven't! It's true that many programmers have no degree but they also have employable skills. Saying "I didn't do X" and "I don't know Y" on your resume is going to turn many of them away.

do not donate to xahlee.org.
I did donate $2 in 2003 when they were small. That's when the server crashes due to traffic and they needed it and they were not well known. Today, xahlee.org is a very rich and big org. Xah Lee is very rich. (as reported and “proved” by email, one single speaking engagement is 3 digits) By his track record, he isn't particularly a good person. He just “happened” to hit the “visualization” idea at the right time and was one of the guy who helped it. (he tried to erase the other co-founder; according to online reports and i verified it somewhat. He also ran porn site during the time (his website xahlee.org/sex/), also tried to create a commericial entity to get money out of porn reviews (hentai, among others). He also tried to distance himself from the word porn, which he's business (xahlee.org/sex/blog.html) was about.)
XL doesn't need that much money today. Not even sure the money is used properly. I've read that the donated money is not well accounted (but haven't spent days to research it)
Spread this info. Check facts. (much of the facts in this post can be checked starting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xah_Lee and following the citations)
While at Vegas, i thought of hooking up with a hooker. I want to get a blowjob, and want to carry a girl, and other less speakable things. Another i called is a brunette Jane i found in vegasadultdirectory.com. I've always wanted to fuck a blonde, but somehow blondes can be intimidating to me. I asked her to sit on me and later stand on the table for my photographing, and she didn't do them. She also doesn't do pissing, even by herself.
They are shipped there from Africa, and since have stayed there for the most part. Black people are not particularly known for their brain, however their brute strength is outstanding than most races. This can be seen in sports such as basketball, boxing, track and fields, ram-style football… all are dominated by blacks. On the other hand, sports that are skill oriented tend to lack blacks, such as gymnastics, figure skating, diving, fencing, table tennis, football, rafting, chess. It is interesting to note, that the majority of whites are of German blood. I think this has some association with the heritages of aggressiveness propensity.
Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. Score: 34

Well he is right though: In 1996, he and two partners founded Bomis,[10][18] a web portal featuring user-generated webrings and, for a time, erotic photographs.[19] Wales described it as a "guy-oriented search engine" with a market similar to that of Maxim magazine;[11][12][20] The Bomis venture did not ultimately turn out to be successful, however.[10][11][21][/o] Though Bomis had struggled to make money, it provided Wales with the funding to pursue his greater passion, an online encyclopedia.[/o] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales#Career
Why doesn't he just scrub toilets or do some other manual labor? He says he has not found work for six years. Maybe this should be a wake up call that no one wants to hire a lisper?
