Okay, not really. Here's the story:

When my nephew, Scott was 6-8 years old and bored, I'd draw cars and trucks for him. He'd take the sketches, go draw his own and proudly show me what he'd done. Of course I'd alway encourage him.

Advance 20 years: Scott's out of college (some auto design school in Detroit) and was a key player in the 'esthetic' design of the 2003 GMC Sierra (interior and exterior).

Doesn't mean much to a lot on here (why should it?), but I thought I'd share the story anyway.

Good kid.

Very cool Rick!

I made the news too this week. But it certainly wasn't in a positive light. :(

No... Not quite THAT bad..

For those of you that don't know, I work at Compaq...er.umm... I mean HP. I won't bore you with the technicalities of my job, but the following article may give you a little bit of an idea.

I present to you, my fellow PoMoFo'ers, my first, and hopefully last time, that I will ever make the news. (http://www.theregus.com/content/28/25972.html)

Yes this drew attention all the way up to the top.
Yes I did this.
No it was not intentional.

But at least I can say it was only an issue for Compaq/HP employees. It was never an issue that was visible from the Internet.

"Instead of getting redirected to the new.hp.com they found themselves surfing either a Rolling Stones Fan Club site or thrown onto a site flogging software for adult entertainment sites. "

DAMN! I sure hope this didn't jeapordize you job in any way Ben. Sorry to hear that.

As one of my son's Bob the Builder toys says: "Whoops!"

I hope all goes well with you Ben! We all make mistakes, and if you don't, you're not trying hard enough. I'm sure it will be handled with discretion and dignity...

/me wipes brow 'shew'; thinking Mr. Frazier would need legal assistance...

Congrats to you though, Rick! :)

'Doh!' Ben... 'Doh!'.
