(ok, i stole that from Jon Stewart)
Most people know this, but I'll reiterate it one more time:
John Paczkowski is so cool and he's been that way for a long, long time. His coolness has been recorded in his Good Morning Silicon Valley column since 1996.
He is one of my writing idols--not in a crazy way, but I admire his authoritative, easy and funny writing style that doesn't let the humor or irreverence (of the big wigs) undermine the newsworthiness of his posts.
I hope one day I can write like that.
My own attempts at being breezy and irreverent (dictionary: critical of what is generally accepted or respected; characterized by a lightly pert and exuberant quality) have had somewhat dubious results.
In the meantime, enjoy this from his latest missive:
