There is a lady here in Atlanta who I haven’t talked about in awhile. Those of you who have followed my Pulp Fiction Game know her affectionately as “Computer Babe.”
Her name is Mel (Melanie) and she is Bob Burden’s long-suffering IT person…and the genius who set up the Information Services Department for Georgia Tech. I say “long-suffering” because, for years, Burden had been using her talents to learn about various computer solutions that he THOUGHT he was in need of, but never really clearly knew WHY he needed them.
Bob is one of those “Right Brain” lefties who has always been a dozen steps ahead of himself as far as his creativity goes. So much so, that the minutia of actually getting things done always seemed to allude him. And then along came Tony Dumont and the rest (to be painfully trite) is history.
Well, now that Dumont has been aggressively in the process of coming up with an actual business plan for Bob, it is time to bring Mel into the BOBBURDENCOMICS.COM fold. This is because she has access to an almost unlimited supply of something that Tony and Bob desperately need…HARDWARE!
Mel and Tony first met last year at DragonCon and compared a few notes (so it speak). However, that was before Burden truly got with the program and willingly put his career in Tony’s hands.
Sooooooooooo…this is the time for the next leg of the journey to begin!...with both Tony and Mel at the helm the ship!!!
