Comments on: Houston. http://www.brainofshawn.com/2008/03/20/houston/ The Thinks I Think Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:23:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Shawn Powers http://www.brainofshawn.com/2008/03/20/houston/#comment-2405 Shawn Powers Sat, 03 May 2008 12:49:29 +0000 http://www.brainofshawn.com/2008/03/20/houston/#comment-2405 The ironic part is that *I* don't have a college degree at all. :) I wasn't offended at all, and I appreciate the congrats. I'm honestly not sure when I'll be on the masthead page as associate editor. I'm absent in the June issue as well. My suspicion is that nobody thought about it, and they just copy/paste the page from issue to issue. And if you think it's odd to <em>read</em> some of those articles that get super crazy super fast -- try editing them! I often stare at the screen and go, "uuuhhhhhhhhhh." Then I Google a lot, and try to arrive at some semblance of feedback. :) The ironic part is that *I* don’t have a college degree at all. :)

And on another completely unrelated note it's always good to follow your passions. Also I was in the library when I saw Linux Journal (May 2008) on the shelf. To be honest I didn't notice it before. I always went for Time or newsweek. I searched through the list of people working on the magazine in hopes of finding my man powers. You were listed under Reader Advisory Panel. What gives? Also I like how the articles start off with "Let's try something simple" then plunge into intricate scripts and XML. lol!

I don't have a degree. At all. I dropped out of college to start a computer business. (I took writing classes while in college, but never got a degree) SSSHHHHH! Don't tell, we're still negotiating a contract. ;) I miss you too Tia. :)
