Hotter Than Wesley Crusher

Quick a little history: I was submitted to the “Hot Blogger Calendar” thingy. I find that funny. I find it funnier that I’m actually getting votes.

My boss over at Linux Journal sends me this “Press Release” for the Brain of Shawn readers… Ain’t the Internet a funny place? (I wasn’t going to mention the hot blogger thing, as it seems self serving, but the Wil Wheaton angle makes me laugh)

Yeah, I work with fun people. :D
UPDATE: Now the LJ Press Release was submitted to Digg.

I went there and I tried to vote for you, but I don’t know if I did it. I filled in the dot but couldn’t find a place enter it. Well just know I tried. I really think a computer that responded to being yelled at would be ideal.

I voted for you, in a strictly hetro one man voting for another man in a manly “least of evils” sort of way and not because I think you’re all sexy and such. Just saying.

You can vote more than once if you go in through IE as well as firefox. Shawn, I’ve voted for you on 5 computers, through both browsers, 10 votes here!
For those of you thinking it’s not registering your vote, all you do is click on his name, & a check mark shows up to the right. A msg shows up @ the top of the box very briefly saying your vote has been registered.

I still like Wil Wheaton, even though he is CLEARLY not as hot as you… or this Geri Druckman character. ( hee hee). I was a big Wil Wheaton fan when I was about 12. Stand By Me was my favorite movie for many years. It is still up there.
