Geekery all around
We’re in the midst of the 6 weeks of Future Products indexes, which means I’ll be enmeshed in some seriously crazy tables and charts at work. Yay, my favorite. However, there’s a gameplan set for less and less (paper) Production work, which is a genuine yay.
This is totally hot. The engadget folks aren’t thinking of this properly. When people can make money back on their fuel for the captured carbon of their emissions, you can be damned sure that an easy, automated way to remove those canisters will be found. If I have to buy a gas station myself to make it happen… well… maybe.
Re: bitswing, my geeky equivalent of the phrase “dickswing”, which I once heard in a corporate meeting)-
Buddy: “I am not talking about computer stuff at a get-together anymore. I have better things to do that be the group ubernerd at a social gathering.”
Me: I generally try to point out that I’m not the Alpha Geek in the room as soon as possible, because I really don’t have time for posturing. I would have left a bit earlier if I could, as I just don’t care to compare dick sizes, electronic or otherwise.
All in fun, really :) It’s a bit embarrassing to realize you’ve been sucked into a bitswing conversation unawares, even if you’re just trying to be polite – you’re bound to turn your head and find the girls smirking at you. Which should by no means imply that girls don’t do the equivalent of bitswing – to stereotype for just a moment, they’re just better at pulling out the false humility when it’s getting obvious.
