Late for Dinner, Really?

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

Nigel Poulton over at Ruptured Monkey suggests a variety of nick names for the various storage bloggers, in his post[Storage Blogwars and the Vendor Fight Club].

Of these, fellow blogger Marc Farley suggested for me "Tony Late for Dinner Pearson", which is fair, I guess, given that I often work late to make sure my blog posts are well written, and sometimes that means I am the last to leave the building.

Full Disclosure: I've known Marc for a while now, we have attended events together and even were co-speakers on a conference call for customers.

Perhaps more disturbing is that, for the most part, the storage blogosphere is entirely dominated by men. Where are the women bloggers for storage?

Tony, the sole reason for the nickname is because I know you are such a hard working guy. After that, there is only subliminal stuff running around my brain. It just seemed like a fit to me.

Nigel,Back in April 2007, I had mentioned that I was attending the SNW 2007 in San Diego. Fellow blogger Anil Gupta from Quantum organized a "bloggers dinner" for Monday night, and I did respond that I would be there, but I got stuck in my flights in Phoenix due to sand storms. I missed the dinner, but made it in time for the reception afterwards.
Later in the week, I was able to take photo with two other storage bloggers:
