Dear Knoxville Pros
Somewhere on Reality Me or Domestic Psychology is the story of my indiscretions. Yes, I picked up a prostitute once and it became public. Well, I cannot pick you up anymore*. Unlike Dick Cheney’s wife, and Spitzer’s wife, my wife will not stand behind me.
What’s the difference between a computer consultant and a prostitute?
Slate asks why is prostitution illegal?
*I can’t find the post relating the story, so for those that missed it, I was working late downtown once. It was about midnight when I pulled up to a traffic light at Summit Avenue and Gay Street (thank you Knoxville for allowing me to use the words prostitute and gay in the same post) in the Jeep with the top down. A lady walks up and asks for a ride. Being a nice guy, I let her in. Half a block later it has become blatantly evident that I was being very naive and I was politely telling her to get out. I suppose, for the sake of knowledge, I should have at least asked, "how much?"
Loren Feldman Portraying a “Nice Guy”!
Oh, and he interviews Peter Semmelhack of Buglabs…
Note: The first time I saw Loren Feldman was on Seesmic and he hooked, lined, and sinkered the whole bunch into a series of angry videos that brought down the servers. I don’t usually get into this negative humor but I found it very amusing because in the first few seconds of his video I spoke aloud that "this guy is playing a character" and it was entertaining to see so many people invest themselves and their emotions into responding to him without seeing through the ruse. I could be wrong. Perhaps Feldman is just an angry ass. I have since seen him engage many of the tech celebrities such as Robert Scoble and their banters are amusing because reports have it that in person they are chummy. Many of us portray ourselves transparently on the web/blogosphere exactly how we are and who we are. Loren Feldman made me rethink this as perhaps Blogosphere1.0. As Hollywood loses ground to independent entertainment producers on the Internet, will Blogosphere2.0 be more people putting on masks and portraying characters online? As people in real life declare, "I saw you on the Internet and I can’t believe…" will you be able to respond, "oh, that’s just a character I play on the Internet!" That’s going to really screw with companies relying upon Google for background checks!

Overslept. Two of my children can dress themselves like lightning! Looks like I’m driving to the elementary school and the high school.

Immediate Knoxville Referral Needed: Climbing Instructor
Our Boy Scout troop meets Monday nights. This coming Monday, we had an instructor arranged to come in, show the boys some equipment, talk about safety, and so forth for 20-30 minutes. Our meetings in March are supposed to be focused on climbing so that our camping trip in April can be to do some outdoor rock climbing. Our instructor has a conflict. So on 2 days notice, I need to find someone that could talk about rock climbing, equipment, and safety for 20-30 minutes. Any suggestions? Email or call.
