Sunday Paper Writeup

It turns out I was written up in the Sunday paper for something. In the business section. Something I have been hoping to announce for the past few weeks, and something I continue to hope to announce soon. But those who live in Erie, PA, already know what that thing is.

While I am one, the full quote was that I am "just a Mac guy in Erie, PA - not the most technologically advanced town in the country." Or something like that…
Some other small factual mistakes were made, like the spelling of PulpFiction (it had a space in it). I've got a quibble or two about the fact that PulpFiction was described as being an "Internet-based program" (it's a desktop app that uses the Internet), but I appreciate the fact that what is a quibble to a geek makes no difference to a normal person. I also appreciate the issue of "column length."
