So the Ziff Davis DevSource website has been doing interviews with “.NET Rock Stars” and an interview with yours truly went up today. In it you can find out all kinds of random esoterica about what I think about programming and other such things. I'll also be hanging out in the forum this week, so feel free to drop by and say hello!
The whole “rock star” thing makes me think of my “if I was in a rock band, what would it's name be?” name. When Andrea and I were on our honeymoon, we toured a good chunk of Southern Spain and we visited a lot of cathedrals. One thing that I noticed was that a large percentage of the “Madonna with child” statues (and, no, I'm not talking about Lourdes) had a common problem - somewhere along the line, the head of the baby Jesus had been lost. So after about the 10th or 11th baby-Jesus-with-missing-head statue, it occured to me that it might make a good rock band name: “Hello, Seattle, we're Headless Baby Jesus and we're here to rock!”
It's got the right mix of offensiveness, irreligiousness and obscurity. But maybe it's a good thing that I have absolutely no musical talent whatsoever...
