Congratulations to Jon for getting an interview with a _journalist_!

(I'm hoping to get an interview with Jon, so I can say I interviewed 
someone who interviewed a journalist.)


Of course, in this day and age, it's the journalists and scribblers 
who fill the panels at conferences, and it's the journalists sought 
out by other journalists for comments on the Meaning of it All. One 
of our well-known journalists, a good one, was saying recently that 
he's been invited to many special conferences on cutting edge issues, 
libertarian technopolitics, etc. I guess I'll need to become a 
journalist to even be invited to my _first_ such event! Merely 
inventing a bunch of things and writing about them for the past 13 
years on the Net doesn't hardly qualify for inclusion amongst the 
_journalists_!

With the proliferation of "Oracle 8i World, the magazine for Oracle 
8i Administrators" and "Python Times" and several hundred other niche 
computer magazines, maybe we'll _all_ have to become journalists just 
to fill the pages.

(OTOH, I expect a shakeout in the b.s. magazines comparable to the 
bursting of the bubble for the dot gones.)
