Michael Arrington sat for an interview with Portfolio and they hit on all the important topics: Silicon Valley's "pirate" entrepreneurs, venture capital's relationship with the stock market, and of course, Arrington's love life. The nonboring bits:

L.G.: A singles scene. You mentioned your girlfriend. Are you available? What's your deal? M.A.: Oh yeah, that was years ago. No, I'm not dating anyone. L.G.: So you're on the market. M.A.: I guess, yes. It's kind of hard to date when everyone watches your every move, but yeah. Have you heard of Valleywag?

We're flattered, Mike. Really. But we can't take all the credit.
