The Glass is Too Big - Home

Robert Nagle touches on something that's surely going to be obvious once I'm at SXSW.

I am a geek. I revel in technology.

Yet I have. . .

• No Powerbook.
  
  
• No iBook either
  
  
• No iPod
  
  
• No Razr
  
  
• Not even the slightest level of caring about whether that makes me cool
  
  

I carry a Windows laptop, Creative MP3 player, big metal Nextel phone and I'm fine. For the conference itself, I am not staying downtown and I am not going to be drinking. I just wanted to answer all of the questions up front. I am happy with my tech choices and have absolutely no shame that I will be using Windows while at SXSW.

Beyond that, I don't need you to offer me a Linux CD or to show me your Mac. I have machines that do both. I use what I use because of a whole series of rational choices and don't need any evangelizing. I am already well-versed in your religion. I'm just not looking to join up, thanks.

Maybe I need a t-shirt.

No Powerbook

No iPod

No Razr

My cool's in my brain, not my bag
