Weekend fun: Hacking LR to offer congrats to Cory

That’s right, I did it. I’ve broken in for the first time since leaving LR to offer my congratulations to Cory on his new job. It’s Cory’s fault - he left my password in tact, so let this be a warning to all you sysadmins out there to keep your password lists up to date!

Cory’s work at KING is nationally recognized for its excellence. He is, unquestionably, a leading mind in what we used to call “convergence” and what we now have no idea what the hell it’s called. Probably something digital. He has consistently been accurate in predicting where the media is going. Cory doesn’t let the naysayers bother him. Unlike me, for example. He just plugs along with what he knows is right.

Only Cory would continue an enterprise like LR this long, through job changes, blogger changes, life changes and now a major career step. He has got to be the only guy I know who, in a job negotiation, would insist “as long as I keep my labor intensive, non-money making, often thankless side project” as a deal breaker.

Thanks to the LR jobs section, there are many people in the industry who owe their careers to Cory. I certainly do. Now he’s made a big career step of his own. I congratulate him and Kate on this wonderful opportunity. As a self-proclaimed “expert,” I support this move. Also, Cory will be pleased to note, I even included artwork in an entry.
