University Life

For twenty years, I was in the trade press. Specifically, I wrote about computers. Then, one morning, I realized that if I wrote one more gawdam article about disc drives, I was going to kill somebody.

So I went back to the academy and set out to get a Ph.D. in history. I’m now about three quarters of the way there. On the whole, it’s been fun. But . . .

You know what?

Some professors make disc drives look like a Brittney Spears rubber catsuit hootenanny-qua-Chippendale tarantella-fest on d-meth at the Playboy Mansion.
