i mostly wrote that last post because i didn’t have much else to say that day and having just read the article i linked, it seemed ripe for discussion. my general feeling is more along the lines of ‘this seems like a big deal being made out of nothing.’

how surprised i was then today that an email i opened this morning with the subject line ‘linked to your blog’, from a name i didn’t recognize — you know, the kind that 7 out of 10 times you would quickly open and delete upon finding out it was in fact spam from some sort of web hosting or stat tracking service you have no need for — turned out to be a legitimate notice from a reputable online news writer.

Apparently it pays to be topical, as i was included in her CBSNews column measuring bloggers’ reactions to the debate. perhaps the quote she pulled from collapsing didn’t really convey the tongue-in-cheek nature of my post on the matter, but even if i was only used for my flippant closing line, it’s still kind of cool that i’ve been quoted ‘by the press’, sort of. now the real question is, how can i leverage this to make millions of dollars?
