>In the summer, when school’s out, he does this for 15 hours a day, signing on at 9am with his trademark Ed McMahon–esque “Here’s crime for today” and stopping at midnight so he can sleep. Rarely do five minutes go by without a new post. The only thing that breaks Timmy away from the buzz and chatter of the police scanner is his mom’s call of “Dinner’s ready!” “My mom doesn’t let us eat in the rooms here, so I have to eat in the kitchen,” he says.
Timmy's dedication extends beyond the content of his blog, too. When I invited him to come blog on the WC, I had no idea I was essentially recruiting a brutal tester/debugger to the team. About twice a week, he sends me long missives on things that "get on his nerves" about the site. While this was frustrating at first, his near-constant UI and user experience feedback has been invaluable.
Now that's dedication.
