About the Author
After being lost in the desert for a period of years, bearded,
unwashed, and resembling a nineteenth century politician, Mark Beckner
found himself holding a degree in Computer Science and Information Systems
from a small college in southwestern Colorado.
Tearfully leaving behind the innocence of his past, he immersed himself in
the exotic and adventurous world of enterprise application integration
(EAI), .NET development, and Visio diagrams.
In a pattern of banality and madness, he frequents airports, hotel rooms,
and fast-food joints, sacrificing his free time, health, and youth for the
immense satisfaction that comes with increasing the bottom dollar in
corporate America.
