All we wanted to find out was: “What is Laughing Squid?” It’s a web hosting company, a blog, a photo stream, the Squid list, and as we found out….Laughing Squid is a way for Scott to help organize all his activities as they evolve. Scott is an instigator, an experimenter, a businessman and guy with a lot of great t-shirts. Check out this interview where every story Scott tells leads to 5 more stories. This short interview doesn’t do him justice, but it’s a start.
Being new to San Francisco, we’re always interested in hanging out with the people who have lived through the past tech booms and busts. Scott Beale is even more interesting because he’s seen how multiple communities in SF have evolved since he arrived in in the mid-90’s. He has actively tried to merge the art and tech communities together while documenting this process. You can see Scott in action and be part of this process at the 11th annual Laughing Squid Party.
Join Laughing Squid as we enter our 2nd decade at our 11th anniversary party. Featuring performances, music, DJ’s, Art Cars, robots, a fire cannon and much more.

Isn’t BoingBoing hosted on Laughing Squid? Or once was? That would explain the logo. Laughing Squid request one display it somewhere on the website in order to get a discount.
Thanks for the interview. Always wondered about the name and the logo.
-Liked learning more about him & his clarity of mind; he sounds like he knows what he wants to accomplish with ‘Squid’. Thanks for interview!
