Nice to see some coverage in my local paper. I sent David DeBolt, the reporter who wrote the story an e-mail thanking him for the coverage.

I also gave him a heads up on a Palo Alto meetup that is in the planning stages for March/April.

The rough draft can be found on Google Docs.

If you have any input, feel free to PM me.

LOL that's rich. Print news is a dying business. That's like IBM refusing to sell computers because it cuts into their typewriter business!

LOL. Arrogant little pricks.

I used to be a reporter and the newspaper group STILL doesn't have any of its publications online. But at least they have the sense not to make up BS excuses like that. Newspaper classifieds are practically dead, and display ads are on their way out along with circulation. The government-required Legal Notices are really the only thing they can rely on for revenue.
