008: scottsmitelli.com with smitelli (Scott Smitelli)

"There was another page where I amassed every animated gif I could find."

Scott Smitelli, a writer best known for his gut-wrenching short story The Ideal Candidate Will Be Punched In The Stomach, joins the pod cast to talk about typing "SEX" into the local library telnet search, discovering that you and others of your ilk can complain about Tech TV on a messageboard, falling in love with programming and out of love with Computer Science (we are both proud members of the Square Root Club), and drawing moral lines for yourself in an age of ubiquitous carelessness.  Most importantly, we discuss our shared love of Panera Bread.
