Weekend fun: Hacking LR to offer congrats to Cory
Steve Safran May 10th, 2008
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.

i got 5 that says he was hoping you’d do at least one more episode of “get lost”, too.

gee, that comment of mine above could really have sounded nasty to anyone not familiar with the runaway hit bi-coastal audio show you guys did a few months back.
no insult intended.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Thanks, Saf. Now Im going to delete you.
(Kidding… hack anytime).

Could NOT have said it better myself. Belo’s loss is certainly MSNBC.com’s gain — but I think we’ll all continue to gain from Cory’s insight and passion on Lost Remote.

I thought the pic was of “Kevin” from the Sally Field show.

Hey. I wonder if my LR password still works, too?
It’s a great move, Cory. And a long way from trying to convince Q13 it needed a real Website.
