Congratulations are in order today to CEO David Ulevitch.

It comes as no surprise to us, and probably you too, that David was named one of BusinessWeek magazine’s “Most Promising Entrepreneurs Under the Age of 30.” (Yes, he’s only 26.) You can read the entire feature here, but the gist is this: The BusinessWeek editorial staff gets together once a year and selects a handful of high-tech entrepreneurs that are clear standouts among their peers. These are people that are expected to do great things over the course of their careers - this year eleven people were awarded the honor.

Given where David has taken OpenDNS thus far and all the significant “firsts” OpenDNS is responsible for, I know BusinessWeek made the right decision including him.

I’ll keep this one short.

David will be on the radio tonight. Gene Steinberg, the original Tech Night Owl himself, asked David to talk about the first PhishTank annual report.

David did such a great job last time, they’ve invited him back!

Our very own CEO David Ulevitch will be a guest on tonight’s episode of Computer America with Craig Crossman. Be sure to tune in at 8 p.m. PST/ 11 p.m. EST to listen to David talk about the Domain Name System, the state of the Internet and whatever else you want - call toll free and speak to him live: (866) 606-8255.

In the world of publicity, a profile in a publication like the New York Times is the holy grail. Everyone aspires to have one, but few actually realize their goal.

Today the New York Times published a lengthy profile on our CEO, David Ulevitch, and we see this as further proof that OpenDNS is not only a fantastic idea, but the future of how people control their network and navigate the Internet. It’s a good day for OpenDNS.

The profile, written by iconic journalist and book author John Markoff, is spot on: It tracks David’s beginnings at MP3.com. It follows him to Washington University, where he earned an anthropology degree and used his newfound knowledge to approach the Domain Name System from a different perspective. It highlights his first DNS company, EveryDNS, and the beginnings of OpenDNS.

Most importantly, however, it captures David’s aim so well - to make a service people want to use, that doesn’t do anything invasive and makes the overall Internet experience better for everyone.

Be sure to check out the article, and please let us know what you think. Huge thanks to Alicia Abramson at Berkeley, CA, Public Library (an OpenDNS customer) for letting the NYT photographer shoot David on site.

Congrats David.

He’d be mad if he knew I was actually encouraging people to listen to his live, one-hour interview tonight. Which is why I’m speed blogging while he’s stepped out of the office to run an errand.

I’ve heard David speak before and let me tell you - he’s great. Tonight’s interview by Craig Crossman of Computer America should be more of the same. Expect all of your DNS questions to be answered tonight at 7 p.m. Pacific - that’s an hour and fifteen minutes from now. I think you can even call in and ask them yourself.

Lots of radio stations play Craig’s show live, and if your local station doesn’t you can listen on the Interwebs.

If you snooze, you don’t lose. If you’re reading this after the broadcast, download the podcast here.
