I heard that one on NPR last week. I guess it takes a while for NPR programming to migrate to the West Coast. :)

Jeanne has some good ideas in that piece. Being of the socially awkward geek that I am, the segment almost made me want to buy the book.

And you're right about the cranberry relish recipie. Good times....

um, what exactly is the point of all that? There are no links, no context, and no way to profit off of it. It's just a crapflood.

Well, I guess you could classify all of the VI versus EMACS and LINUX versus WINDOWS posts as blog spam, but this is the first time I've seen the regular kind. :)
