An Ode to Matthew MacDonald

Wow! Where did the summer go? All in all, it was pretty eventful. I played some golf (but not enough). My boss got "downsized" (never go into "I.T. management" - it's not a good long-term career move). And my company moved a little closer in to Boston - thus, negating my annual raise by increasing my commuting cost. But enough of all that.

I am here to give praise to Matthew MacDonald, technoid and author extraordinaire for Apress publishing. As noted in some of my past posts, I started my career as a technical writer - so I tend to be pretty critical of most technical books (of which, according to my wife, I have entirely too many. Currently, Matt is my all-time favorite author. It seems to me slightly unfair that a man can be so geeky and yet so well spoken. So, Matt, if you're out there and you read this ... I love you, babe!
