Vmyths Stands Up for a Laugh

Rob Rosenberger, creator and editor of Vmyths, the website that aims to use humour to educate about computer virus myths, hoaxes, urban legends and hysteria, has announced he has started in stand-up comedy to hone his skills. Writing in a special edition of his newsletter, Rob emphasised the potential of stand-up comedy for his professional development, "I've learned many of today's best writers did stand-up at one time or another. … These people use stand-up as a blade sharpener. It gives them the edge they need in their real jobs. I'm a computer security critic, and right now I'm sharpening my blade."

Rob will be performing at Penguin's Comedy Club, Cedar Rapids, IA on 24 November 2004, 8pm CT, and generously offered, "I'll even waive your cover charge if you say 'Vmyths' to the cashier". Rob has a strong belief in the educational potential of humour, "we need more humor in the computer security world". [I thought that was Microsoft's role, no, wait - that's tragedy… Ed.]
