My Epilogue and Editorial of the Kathy Sierra Saga

The Sierra Saga Part 3: Who Are The Real Culprits in The Kathy Sierra Saga
I have been trying to determine how to continue talking about the Kathy Sierra incident without whipping a dead horse and without adding to an already overzealous echo chamber, or to provide fodder for the angry mob. I have seen many talk about this issue, and I have seen some very good ideas and opinions [...]

Well it looks like the caveman has signed a deal with ABC making my attempt to copy and plagiarize GIECO’s advertising campaign moot. I wanted so badly to have the caveman tapping away at his keyboard, making fun of Robert Scoble, linkbaiting, Digging, and perhaps even signing up to work for clamshells at PayPerPost! How [...]
