Ooh, it's Mr. Big Shot Writer
Yep. I'm happy to announce that I've got a paying gig writing for Macworld magazine.
Yay, me.

Can't wait to see the word "sexbot" printed in Macworld.
Posted by: Etienne Despres at December 7, 2004 10:39 AMYay, John!
I cancelled my subscription to Macworld years ago, when they ran a big feature explaining how to switch to Windows NT. Now I'll have to re-up.
See, you're making money for them already. Demand a raise!
