Patrick's research staff contacted me two years ago and I did some minor work for him, via email (I never met him so don't go all crazy and ask for details) and was paid very well, considering it was research for a book.
Patrick's a pretty sharp guy but he outsources a lot of his research to proffesionals (makes sense) and has several staff people help him put the pieces together, as it were.
I offered my services as part of the FTEST (final tech editing service team) but Patrick didn't want a publishing pundit as much as he was looking for computer pundits. Ah well, at least now I'm in his rolodex and hopefully I'll get more chances to work with him.
There are over two million Americans who will go to sleep hungry tonight.
Why is it that we can brainwash the masses into thinking that it's okay for us to spend billions on space crap while ignoring the homeless people living in the streets and at the YMCA?
I'll never understand a society that says it's okay to blow billions on meaningless stuff in the name of science while ignoring all the social issues that plague us.
How many lean cuisines can you buy with the money we've spent on the Mars Program? How much beef jerky could you purchase with the billins we spend on the space shuttle?
