Big shoes to fill, for sure - but I have big feet, and my shoes are cooler than his. (Yours will be too, once you get the cool shoes.) Plus I still have all of my hair! I'll have to put some thought into it, figure out my angle. It might just be crazy enough to work... :) @Monika,

Wall Street ey. Heck there is nothing wring by aiming high I think. If you don't believe you can do it, how should others? :-) You go Brett - kill 'em. @ Brett: he sure sounds like he knows what he writes about, plus his gig does seem so cool. Wall Street ey.

Aim high, they say. Walt Mossberg - I want his gig. I could do a good job of that, and maybe when he retires, I could take up the torch. http://walt.allthingsd.com/ Hey, why not?

They seem kind of dry, and this is juicier. I am going to book mark this. Unlike Brett, I am at the other end of the spectrum having tried Elance I want to break into the magazine market. And I hate job ads, I have never had any luck with those. You compete with 5 million other copywriters. So you should be sleeping by now, unless you're a complete insomniac. Take care! E Hi Monika,
