Kids Love Attention

Man, my comments about how much Microsoft’s coffee sucks sure hit a chord with some people. After Scoble linked to me, a bunch of other people have now done the same. I even made the Seattle PI’s web log, in their Holiday Grab Bag of blog links.

The PI seems has always been nice to me, though. When I played a Defender marathon in Seattle on Super Bowl Sunday ‘82, Erik Lacitis of the Seattle Times said he was going to write a column about me. He interviewed me before the event, and was struck by my extreme confidence that I’d pull it off (playing 24 hours on a quarter). But the PI sent a news crew to shoot some pictures and talk to me when I finished at 8:00AM, and they ran the story right away while Erik was still pondering what to say about me. Then he decided he couldn’t write about me after all, because the PI had “scooped” him. I love the PI.

Will I get this much attention when I start covering some more technical topics after January 1? Stay tuned …

And I thought I was being restrained by not including a big JPG of the PI article! (That’s it on the top left.)
