MAC GEEKERY “Microsoft needs to become a lean, mean, coding machine.”

Sometimes I think I am here in order to explain what Geek is … to/on/in/at a venue (what, pray, is the internet) … does the term Coals to Newcastle mean anything to you?

Perhaps not. Let me think … Pocket Protectors to SlashDot?

Engineers (oh, yeah, they all over this blog) like to get to the point. My son the engineer (Civil, Senior, so I gave birth at thirteen, what’s it to ya) is, in fact, regularly stretched to the breaking point, as well as waaay beyond, because I talk to him in a manner resembling this post. Tortured yet?Look. Y’all can pay attention, goddammit, or not, but the day Microsoft becomes anything in the remote vicinity of Mean or Lean is also the day on which snowballs freeze in hell.

Here’s a visual, jack. Take (yet another) look at Dance of the CEO and then pull up any Steve Jobs MacWorld clip.

Put on your great big thinking cap (I know, I know, just one of your great big things) and ponder this: just as there are people who are Black and people who are not, there are people who are distinctly on the Autism Spectrum, and those who are not.

That’s a big enough thought for today, guys. I don’t wanna overtax you. Question: my dad the physicist used to whip out his slide rule in response to any problem, of any sort.

What do you guys whip out?
