Getting to know Hunter S Thompson
Filed in Fun.
My first ‘real’ job had me helping a few really talented guys build a software system designed to book cars for our parliamentarians. Not all of our ideas were implemented. I remember suggesting we fit each car with a global positioning system to enhance booking accuracies. This suggestion was howled down by our client because for some reason parliamentarians weren’t too keen on the idea of people knowing the exact location of their chauffeured-driven car—go figure.
Bruce Mcleod was our leader in this venture and was influential in introducing the team to Hunter S. Thompson—a great ideas man. A couple of weeks go Hunter died and Bruce tracked down what he thinks might be Hunter’s last published piece.
