The recently-mentioned Smithsonian article gives some good details (and a good picture of him on his unicycle). Anu earned a Masters in computer sciences at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, and he now works for AT&T as a consultant in Columbus. And about the $$$, it says he currently pays over $400 a month to keep the servers up and running.

And this is what he says about writing that monthly cheque: I receive what you could call psychic income from AWAD. And with the grace of God we can afford it, so it doesn't bother us.

What a man he is.
