    Who knew his name was Hosea?

    He posts “The Show” around 1 in the afternoon, and for the rest of the day, goes about cobbling together a living, doing speaking engagements, consulting for technology companies, and doing anything else he can think of to earn a dollar.

    It’s not the cover of Rolling Stone, but it is a nice two-pager in the Sunday Styles section.

    Taco Bell Cannon

    A Corpus Line (Taco Bell Canon)
    At the close of Act I, some students are despondent about their job prospects and begin contemplating other career options. They sing “The Taco Bell Canon” to the tune of “Pachelbel’s Canon.” (Imagine each voice part singing one of the canon sections.)The Taco Bell CanonBasses:
    I have no job
    I have no job
    I have no job
    Let’s work at Taco Bell!I have no job
    I have no life
    I am so tired
    I’m sick of interviews

    My mom was right
    I should be at medical school
    This is a waste of time
    Why is my life so cruel

    I have no job
    Let’s work at Taco Bell….

    Altos:
    Three years ago when I applied
    A job was not so hard to find
    But now the market’s shot to hell
    And we must go to Taco Bell
    Cause that’s the place where I’m at peace
    With the burritos and the grease
    My friends and I will gather round
    Because a job cannot be found
    We bitch and moan we think we’re cool
    We cannot wait to leave this school
    My job search is not going well
    Perhaps I’ll work at Taco Bell

    Sopranos:
    Sonnenschein, Mayer Brown, Skadden Arps and A&P and K&E, Covington, Debevoise and White & Case and Ropes & Gray, Strook & Strook, Sullivan and Gibson Dunn and Fish & Neave, Schopf & Weiss, Seyfarth Shaw and Pope & Joh-oh-oh-oh-ohn…

    Marshall Field’s, Bloomingdale’s, Benneton and Mickey D’s, Dairy Queen, Burger King and KFC and Pizza Hut, Harold’s Shack, Ribs & Bibs and Dominos, Taco Bell, Taco Bell, Taco Bell and Taco Bell and Taco Bell!

    (Repeat all three together.)

    But wait, there’s less!

    Reading Scoble’s blog about his departure from MS, I realize how pissy my ho-humming it in the previous post might seem.  Robert’s earnest integrity, his unselfconscious self-absorbtion, his position as avatar of tech bloggers everywhere - all point to a more serious and credible context for this “one man leaves corporate gig for a well funded job with a small company” story.  So for anybody who is heavy into Scobleism as a faith or a political practice, I can only apologize for my small and perhaps demeaning sense of the story.

    As for Liz Lawley, I wish her nothing but the best!
