Want to write a bunch of boring stories?

Wired is looking for a writer to join its business blog, and soliciting a topical blog post of 200 words or less instead of the usual resume.
This brings to mind the time I created an interactive mapping web site specifically for a single job interview, using that paper’s own circulation data. (Sadly, it doesn’t live online these days.) I didn’t get the job.
Instead, they hired a copy editor and a guy who, to date, has written 75 print stories with an average length of 520 words. NOT THAT I’M BITTER ABOUT IT. Nope. Definitely not bitter. Did I mention that, in the meantime, I’ve been racking up plaques, building one of a kind databases and generating mad revenue with custom mapping products?
Not bitter … not bitter …
