    Post Alex Ross now writing magazine articles

    I was in Barnes and Noble today and as I always I stopped by the computer magazine section. There I came across CPU or Computer Power User and looking at the list of writers there was Alex "Sharky" Ross himself. Some of the other writers are Anand Lal Shimpi and Kyle Bennett.

    From Anandtech's staff page

    Anand Lal Shimpi - Editor In Chief
    It's not just a coincidence that the site is named after him; Anand founded the site in 1997 and incorporated the company in 1999. Now as Editor in Chief and CEO of AnandTech, Inc. he handles the bulk of the business/management side of running the company as well as controlling the direction of the editorial content. In his “spare” time, Anand attends North Carolina State University as a Computer Engineering major and has a passion for driving and basketball
    Hope that helps you.

    Before you make the slit with the cold silver knife,
    When life has no meaning and you don't want to stay,
    Remember my friends, it's better to burn out then to fade away...

    He is head guru/site starter of Anandtech.com (aka probably the biggest hardware site on the net next to toms) I noticed his site has been having a lot of slowdown lately and Anand is basically the only writer left...

    i am wondering, since i have not been around here that long, was the "Sharky" nickname derived from www.sharkyextreme.com

    or did you create all of the sharky stuff??

    i guess what i am trying to say is, which came first the nickname or the website and forums??
