But no mention of the paperback, the bastards 
| | ABCNews.com ran a nice piece about Cluetrain today. Thanks to Dan Granke for pointing that out. |
Way to go, Joan!
| | My  old pal Joan Siefert Rose, who was a first-rate broadcast journalist (and personality) when we worked together (in various ways at various stations) in North Carolina, is returning after a long and successful career in commercial and public radio in Michigan. She'll be General Manager of WUNC Radio in Chapel Hill: one of the best public radio stations in one of the best towns on Earth. Signal-wise, WUNC it's one of the biggest as well. Way back when (1981 actually), Joan helped WQDR in Raleigh win the first Peabody award ever given not only to a rock & roll station, but to one with an all-female news staff. (I'd point to the award, but the @#$% site only manufactures the page from a database entry... so search by Organization for WQDR). |
Speaking of success stories
| | And now here's my high school roommate, Paul. |
| | Concordia  Prep in Bronxville, NY (now absorbed into the adjacent college) was what I sometimes half-jokingly call a "Lutheran academic correctional institution." Students tended to be either extremely gifted and headed for the ministry (Lutheran boys in the Missouri Synod back then were given the opportunity to make this commitment before high school) or, well, problems. Paul was the former. I was the latter. Many years after that, when Paul taught homiletics and other churchy subjects as a professor in the Yale Diviinity School, and I was out here in Silicon Valley, I used to address letters to "Paul V. Marshall, Th.D., D.D., Professor of Homiletics and Small Business Solutions," because he hacked and sold computers on the side. |
| | Now he's Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem, PA. Some of his old humor (he's one of the funniest guys I have ever known, deservedly "class wit" in the yearbook) still comes across in his sermons which I am pleased but unsurprised to find online. |
| | If you'll forgive an Amazon link (ye fellow software patent opposers), I'll also point to five of Paul's many books. I believe it was Paul who taught me to write. He had a natural gift for thinking, speaking and writing in final draft. I had to learn at least a little of the craft, just to keep up. |
| | My tendency to procrastinate, without which this blog would not exist, is all mine. I persist, as ever, uncorrected. |
