Your company's computer guy

We've been talking to an exceptional quantity of nerds lately, though they have majorly upgraded in status from the mid-1990s. Back then, they were like "Nick Burns" from the very funny SNL skits of the era (check out the latest Peek post below for some embedded videos of that -- I love the "AOL doesn't even have javascript!!" one).

Now, however, the typical "tech blog" reader has a supercool looking phone in their pocket, a slick mp3 player, a high-design laptop. Not as bad as that Windows NT database admin you used to know...but still a whiff of unpleasant snobby, you know?

A bunch of snippets from the ~100 messages we got from emails and comments this week


Hilarious SNL guy who reminds me QUITE a bit of the “average” gizmodo reader….
