Feeling geeky, Pt.2
Oct. 8th, 2004 08:31 pmDanah Boyd's latest entry made me feel geeky today. Again. This line particularly struck me:
Today I worked on the school PC. It was the horror. I blame Bill Gates and his invention of MicroSoft Windows. (Although the fact that it is a school PC and used by loads of people might be a bigger problem here...)
But it (the fact that geeks, freaks and academics frequently use Apple products) does matter, particularly if you're building sociable technologies and you want the attention of the geeks, freaks and academics. This includes the bloggers, who are often bleeding edge geeky freaky academically-minded folks.
Emphasis added.
