More Synchronicity -- go read Atlanta blogger Daniel Taylor at Dreaded Purple Master.

I know this is old hat to you long-time bloggers, so forgive a newcomer's enthusiasm. Phil Wolff over at a klog apart made a post on job searching -- which I should be doing, but I'm not. If you are smarter than me (and less convinced of your own infallabillity) read the whole thing.

What I want you to read is here:

Jay Manifold, Project Manager, Kansas City, Missouri..

I like Jay's blogging voice. His blog, A Voyage To Arcturus, is a delightful blend of philosophy, astronomy and space, and life.

Will Project-Manage for Food

I got laid off. OK, it ain't up there with what happened to this guy, but it shut me down for a few days. Not moping -- updating a résumé and networking like mad. [...] [aka bloggers for hire]

[a klog apart]

Buried unceremoniously in this post from Phil, which he got from someplace I never heard of, quoting someone else I never heard of, who puts in the line what happened to this guy, is a link to fellow Atlanta blogger Daniel Taylor, aka Dreaded Purple Master.

Taylor is <strike>funny as a crutch</strike> laugh-out-loud funny. Why I followed that particular link I'll never know. He has apparently been writing forever, reads stuff I read, watches the one TV show I watch, and lives just a couple of miles from one of my favorite parts of the city.

I don't know him, and would likely never meet him. I just find it insanely cool that this blogging business leads to this sort of thing.

And I was a gen-yoo-whine blogging skeptic. Someone pass the crow. Maybe I'll even make it to one of them Blogger Meet-Ups real soon now, ya hear.

Update: I've been brought up short and had it pointed out to me that had I spent more time watching the 70s TV show Happy Days I would have known the phrase "funny as a crutch" was not a compliment. Well, what do I know. I'm from Texas.

So here's to Daniel Taylor -- funny as whoopie cushion; funny as a 24-hour Jonathon Winters TV marathon; funny as a Gallager Sledge-O-Matic skit; funny as a ... well, you get the point.
