Wired v. Nasdaq

Wired magazine as a technology market barometer. As the number of pages increase and decrease, so does the Nasdaq. I do recall noticing the heft of the latest issue when I got it in the mail. (via waxy)

By the way, they asked me for permission to print something from that post, but I didn't realize it was going to be someone else's comment.

Also, I question your use of the term "off-topic." Does this blog have a particular domain? It's not like every post has to be about some kind of animal on some kind of transportation, etc.

I condone any and all uses of my comments...if I didn't want people to know I said it, I probably wouldn't post it here (at least not under my own name). Were you contacted randomly, or do you/does this blog have a Wired connection?

Jon May | Sat, 01/19/2008 - 3:06pm

Scan! Scan! Or I could just get off my butt and go to the store.

If you have a Wired connection, I demand to know the name of an editor to pitch articles to.

I meant off the topic of the caucus.

I was contacted randomly.

Hey, very cool. Way to go Jon and Monk!

I don't have a scanner, but I'll give the text here:

Oh, yeah. I have a camera.

I am buying 20 copies of that issue and sending them to my family. Thanks for facilitating this!

Jon May is never off topic.

Hey, I just realized this marks the second time I was quoted in a print publication without my knowledge, and both times CM was responsible. If I ever need to hire a PR person, I'm coming to you!

Jon May | Sat, 01/19/2008 - 10:58pm

First time?

Tufts daily quote of the day:
"People who quote others have nothing to say for themselves."

Jon May | Sun, 01/20/2008 - 1:22am

Ah, yes. That was the best.

crazymonk | Sun, 01/20/2008 - 9:44am

That's a huge pull quote, Jon. You're famous! And authoritative!
