Did everyone see Sheldon on the front page yesterday?

I swear, I picked it up and thought Sheldon won the noble peace prize for creating something. Then I noticed he wasn't smiling and I read the caption: Chief Yahoo.... Could still be Sheldon?! But no it was Yahoo chief Jerry Yang. Oh well, both handsome in billionaire kind of way. Sorry. I know alot of you were thinking the same thing too.

Hope everyone enjoys the great weekend.

What paper was this? I didn't see anything. Can you post a link?

The Mercury News, is there any other.... I used to be able to say that. Now they are a shell of their former self. I almost like the chron except Hearst corp and corrupted that one when they switched from the Examiner. The Ny Times is so dry. I wonder if the La TImes is still owned by the chandler family and making good papers? Anyone.

Anyway, the pic was the front page of the friday Merc News.

Uh, that picture so SO obviously Peter!

Haha, what I'd give to have 1/millionth of the resources Yahoo's got to throw into Social Wave.

Biggest difference between me and Jerry Yang is very simple.

Jerry Yang = CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
Me = COE (Chief and Only Employee)

The Campbell Reporter also comes on Fridays. I had to ask since I found my boyfriend on the cover of the CR last year, LOL!

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a cover story on Sheldon.

I agree, the Merc has declined but that's because they keep laying off the good talent. They still have some good reporters but the newspaper industry ain't what it used to be. Sadly, it's become a victim of Wall Street; quarterly corporate earnings are the bottom line, anything else be damned. Sadly, the online reader comments are some of the most vile and ignorant I've ever read, and other reader comments echo that sentiment.

I don't have time to read the NY Times everyday but they have some good writers, most notably my favorite, Thomas Friedman. I have to stay away from news sites otherwise I could spend hours reading. It is good to be in the know but it's also good to do other things that need to be done.

That and several million (billion?) dollars.

Are you discounting Mary's role?

I finally saw the pic and I don't think it looks like Sheldon. Maybe if you saw him at a distance, I could see the resemblance.
