One more pass...

March 8th, 2007

Short update today. Continuing work on the new Space Trader challenge. Office still empty. Loneliness setting in. I have begun to map out the most efficient route from my desk to the water cooler. As it turns out, pole vaulting over Matthew Regan’s desk is the best route.

I’ve also started negotiations with Matthew Lesko to see how much he would cost to be featured in our game. Both his patented question mark suit and obsession with !!MEGA MONEY!! would, I think, be an excellent fit for our game on so many levels. He seems interested, but keeps trying to push his book on me.

If you’re unfamiliar with the enigmatic Matthew Lesko, let me summarize his appeal: For many years now, he has appeared in many low rent commercials that can only be described as maddeningly insane wearing his purple suit covered in question marks. He advertises a book that lists off all the government programs that you can apply for to gain financial assistance. Like, maybe you want to open up a hair salon. Uncle Sam can help you get those curling irons. He claims that the government doesn’t want you to know about these financial programs, and he is helping you “stick it to the man” as it were. When the revolution comes, Lesko is going to have his own personal brigade of hard as nails commandoes.

As you can tell, I don’t really have anything worthwhile to write today. I’ll share this, at least - I’m going to attempt it on Monday.

    um, you approached Matthew Lesko with out having read one of his books?! Maybe your local library has one? If not, buy one. Consider it a small investment in your negotiations. And a small investment in something to positively talk about with him. People always enjoy it when you’ve taken the time to get to know what they do & will be much more willing to help you.

    I can assure you that I have nothing but love for Matthew Lesko
