[Note: I originally received this entry February 10.  Circumstances prevented me from posting it until now, but in respect to the original date it was posted I've dated it back to February 11th, 2008.  If nothing else, David certainly deserves points for his entreprenurial spirit, as you'll see below!]

It turns out that the only thing I came up with is that Justice Gray means nothing to me. Because of that I have decided to hire someone to write this post for me.

What Justice Gray Means to Me, by Ian Smith

Dave tells me that Justice has become a pretty big name in the industry. Reading through his “blog” I could not determine why. Then I realized why…. he is like the ugly girl the average girl takes to the bar. By comparison everyone else’s technical blogs look like quantum physics next to pictures of a dinosaur humping a gorilla.

Justice is apparently “North America’s favorite metrosexual software consultant”.  Now I asked around about what a metrosexual is and the only consistent answer I have received is “closeted something or other”, of which I found some evidence on Justice’s own blog. 

To my surprise I have been told that Justice is married to a woman. Also to my surprise I have been told that Dave has met said woman and even determined she was not being held against her will. Dave must have been as suspicious as I was.

Justice represents what can happen when a developer passes the point of “how do I use this damn photo editing software” to “I bet you I could put Dons head into funny pictures” and then gets hooked.  He is the meth’d out street kid of our industry and trust me he will do anything to have paint.net installed on his computer (or hair product… they are about equal to Justice).

Justices sidebar reads:  “A seething cauldron of rampaging masculinity. A fighter! A brother! Your secret lover! He's also a software development consultant and the Vice President of the Edmonton .NET user group. He also greatly enjoys speaking about himself in the 3rd person”. One of these items I have verified as the truth…. Can you tell which one?

[ed: I guess you figured out from the police and the restraining order yesterday, Ian, that I am actually *not* your secret lover!   But keep guessing!]

[second ed: This now officially ends the "What Does Justice Gray mean to me" contest.  Tune in next week (actually second week of March, 2008 to find out *who* the winner of this hallowed competition is!]
