Welcome to my new series – a series on Promoting Professional Geekery.
We, as profans, progeeks, and protaku take pride in our dreams – and achievements – to turn our interests into careers. We build ourselves into our own ideals, we realize dreams others aspire to, we turn the daily grind into something far more.
It's time we promote that.
RIM isn't quitting: Witness the latest Blackberries.
Bank of America: More Death Watch. Actually when you look at the details they're pretty hosed. If there's no bailout, socialization, or other plan this could cause . . . er or make . . . the double dip . . . recession worse. Damn.
It all comes down to a knitted burger at Hyper-Con.
No, really, someone had a new side business called "Jennifer's Creation" and she had a cute set of knitted ingredients that let you build your own burger out of parts. It was neat and funny and amusing, and one of those odd things that made me think about the future of businesses, especially geeky ones.
Customization is something we expect.
