Maryam ( the real power behind Robert “I got me a book” Scoble) has written about loving geeks. It’s a good read and warms my heart that there is hope for my kind. Sometimes, tho, we get a bit out of control and must seriously step back from the keyboard.
Here’s the transcript from a recent Blackberry Chat session I was having with a friend of mine. Sandy had just told me to down load google local for my blackberry and I had just done it and said thank you.sandy: DaNada
sandy: They're bringing out Google Talk for the Blackberry as well, lets you IM with non-bb's.
Rick Segal: The interesting thing is that rogers and RIM got exactly zero money for that little download. Mobile free for all. That should be fun.
Rick Segal: The non-bb chat will be cool. Now we need a good RSS reader for this puppy. One that was optimized for the device.
sandy: Check out the moon, in the east. Very nice.
Rick Segal: Moon in the east?
sandy: Yeah. Look up...
[Yes, I actually went to ‘look up’ “moon in the east” and RSS in Google]
Rick Segal: Okay. I'm dense. Is this in google? For RSS?
sandy: In the sky, you geek. You know, outside? In the real world?
sandy: You need to get out more
Rick Segal: I'm pathetic.
sandy: Yup
And, of course for extra geek points, you blog it. And so it goes here in rainy Seattle. I hope you are having a great weekend.
To be fair, I'm a geek too; I just get out more often.
