Theft by Blogging

12 June 2005

This is one of those situations where there’s clearly an ethical dilemma, but it’s soo easy not to think about. I’m blogging from my car in Bethnal Green, London, by the wonder of stolen wifi. But that’s not the real scoop. The real scoop is that in the seat to my left is the very wonderful Molly.
We’ve kidnapped her for the evening and are force feeding her stolen wifi in a stuffy car in Bethnal Green. Aren’t we the perfect hosts.

§ Molly E. Holzschlag: Drew, this really had to be one of the funniest, geekiest moments. Ever.

Thank you and Rachel and the small person for the most wonderful time!
§ Schultzy: Realy? a few men in a car with Molly I have seen the pictures afterwards http://www.thewatchmakerproject.com/blog/201/best-photo-ever
§ Molly E. Holzschlag: That has to be one of the most godawful photos of me. Ever. I look like a cast member of Shaun of the Dead.

How about something a bit more flattering? Like this photo:

from earlier the same day.
§ H: Love your ponderings and code Drew…yer photography leaves a little to be desired though. Bless, you should never post photos of friends looking like zombies….at least not until you’ve exhausted all available blackmail routes!
§ Jane Jolin: I’m very excited about the project as I just finished a design theme for csszengarden.com

About Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Caburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
