Scooped
fuck.
so much for my book idea.
i've been scooped.
at least i found out before i got too far into it.
i wrote them an email. maybe they won't mind me continuing their good work? i'm not sure how i feel about it now though. they've done more or less exactly what i wanted to do -- they just didn't write a book (yet?).
waiter. make mine a double.
stay the course, mang. we get scooped in grad school all the time, but more often than not, it turns out we've got some peculiar novelty to our project that the others are missing. besides, you wanna bequeath them a monopoly through inaction? a healthy market needs multiple producers. what do you think of first when i say coke? pepsi, of course. mcdonalds? bk, baby. olde english? dass righte: night train! trojan? lamb gut! fox? truth! ms? apple! e-lopers?...
xzackly!
