Argh! I lost my last entry. Darned refreshing pages. Anyway, I knew someone who was in the dot com business. I wonder how he's doing. I hope he's doing better than some of these guys. While I'm here, I just like to say that Microsoft has (Oops) done it again.

Ah..my bullshit-detector is still working well!
Here's what basically amounts to a retraction by Salon on the homeless dot-commer who used to make 6 figures.
This anecdote-disguised-as-journalism set off my detector because why would somebody with enough qualifications (skills, knowledge, experience) in tech to earn 6 figures sink so low? He could at least have had the foresight to move out of state and take up a menial IT job that could've kept him off the street, regardless of economic conditions. This isn't freakin' post-Perestroika Russia, fer cryin' out loud, where former rocket scientists sweep the streets of Vladivostok! *snort*
Although people DO like to hear about such stories... "How the Mighty Have Fallen", you know?
