Slashdot Mirror
Ask Internet Expert Dave Barry
This is a man who obviously knows a lot about the Internet. I am not making this up. He wrote a book about it. He has his own blog, his own Web site, and his own online alt.fan newsgroup with its own FAQ. Not only that, he is in a band and writes a syndicated humor column that often covers matters of interest to Slashdot readers. What are you going to ask him? Up to you, as long as you hold it down to one question per post. We'll send Dave 10 of the highest-moderated questions and post his answers as soon as we get them back, after which we're sure many alert readers will have much to add even if they haven't heard about Bennett Haselton's excellent automated Dave Barry column generator.
I forgot the title of the 9/11 collumn, but did some digging after I posted. The title of the column is 'On Hallowed Ground'. It's still available on Miami Herald's website:

Even if you don't normally like Dave Barry's stuff, you should read this. It's quite good.
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and slashdot the links early!
I believe he somewhat answer this in his web page FAQ for students:
Do you ever sit down to write your weekly column and just not feel like being funny? What do you do?
I often don't feel funny; I just keep at it, and eventually something appears.
People posting questions should definitely check the FAQ's first, links to the two are here
Most people would die sooner than think; in fact, they do.
Gotta love the karma whoring.
