I also had a drink with the G-man this week. Back when I started out as a lawyer I used to eat lunch with the G-man every day. He's intelligent in a scary kind of way and always had remarkable insight into how things worked. He also never took anything too seriously, the true mark of a genius.
Lately he's been posting sudoku algorithms to his blog, detailing how he goes about solving the puzzles. It's been frustrating to read because I know how smart he is and how well he writes. I love his writing and I miss it. So after a beer, I decided to discuss his blog in a way that was expressed my opinion and wouldn't hurt his feelings.
I had to consider how much wiser the G-mail is than I and how much respect I've always had for him.
I also had to consider the professional respect we bloggers have for each other. It takes a special person to take the time out of their busy life to provide free and occasionally entertaining nonsense to the masses.
"Lately," I said to the G-man, looking him in the eye, "Your blog makes me want to stab you in the neck."
