The pressure is officially on.

Today's Boston Globe has an article about me, and puzzles, and Stamford, in their "City Weekly" section. It includes photos of me doing crosswords while waiting for and while riding the bus. It's not a bad article, all things considered.

I was going to link to it, but for some reason boston.com doesn't seem to have it. They have most of the other stories from the "City Weekly" section, but not that one. I'm kind of confused by that.

I guess I have to do well at Stamford now.

[Edited to add: I've scanned the article and made a PDF. I'm not going to post it here, but if anyone wants a copy, feel free to comment or e-mail.]

It's a nice article. You got two pictures, and you were looking very thoughtful in the second one.

It feels odd, reading it and knowing about you beforehand. Especially since I watched you solve the Friday NYT puzzle in 7:31.

Oh, and it turns out that I have a second reason to keep the City Weekly section: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/03/19/of_aggressive_hawkers_zipcar_shortages_and_mopeds/

Wow! Neato!

And its not being online is probably related to the flap they had with their freelancers regarding electronic rights to work done for the Globe. Contracts now specify which writers can have their articles appear on the web as well as in print.

Very nice article. They made you sound smart but not all cold and intellectual. And? Good choice on the outfit for the photos. :) *note to self: ask zenala if she's done with the rest of the paper so I can cut out the article*

Neat. :)
