Paul Kafsis [sic] Is A Professional Writer
Posted 07.15.2008 @ 17:34 EDT

As I noted about a month ago, I've been writing for O'Reilly, on their Inside iPhone blog. I've been posting once a week about the iPhone, and I've seen some great responses to some posts, as well as some that aroused less interest. In that way, it's very much like posting on our company weblog over at Rogue Amoeba, Under The Microscope, which I believe currently has more readers.

As such, it didn't really hit me that I was suddenly a professional writer. Yesterday, however, I received my first monthly check, with a drawing of a tarsier and everything! As you can see (click the check to enlarge), the pay isn't much. I'm not likely to quit my day job, but it at least covers my health insurance premiums. So, now I'm a professional writer, a fact of which I'm slightly proud. Well, Paul Kafsis [sic] is a professional writer, anyway. And that means he gets to use words like [sic].

Update On The Most Sophisticated Technology

Back in March, I wrote about a ridiculous commercial for the Clear Blue pregnancy test. After viewing it once, I never saw it again. Until now! But they've edited it, the cowards!



Were there really complaints about this? And if so, did no one find the streaming imagery disturbing?
