And they said unto the Lord: "How the hell did you do that?" And inquired of him: "Do you do children's parties"

:) Good move, loq! Now, do you think you could get Joan Fucking Jett to show up on metachat?

That's pretty fuckin' cool.

Saf was just telling me about blue boxes and Captain Crunch the other day.

Quick, someone photoshop us a Woz Signal.

I've been reading his letters, and his style reminds me a bit of ethylene...
...and I've never seen the two in a room together at the same time...

If he's so good with computers then maybe he can fix MeFi? It seems to be down at the moment.

Geez, I am such a Woz fanboy. This is so freakin' cool.

This Woz, it vibrates?

posted by orthogonality 04 October | 17:55

Man, The Woz... it vibrates, it chitters, it goes ping, it blinks and spins, it reads RSS feeds, it segues, you name it.

It was one of MeFi's finest hours, well for us nerds.

There are non-nerds on MeFi? WTF?

posted by loquacious 04 October | 20:55

Now can you ask Cory Doctorow if it was indeed him I saw in Toronto today? If so, I will cry for not having made out with him, but still...Loq is now the official Mefite Who Harasses Famous Nerds.

I've emailed Cory before. You really want me to ask him that?

(I also randomly email various SciFi authors, artists and musicians and such. I should aim higher, I seem to get good results. (I was seriously considering emailing Joan Jett for Taz, but I'm not that big of a fan, so the geniune enthusiasm wouldn't be there.))

posted by loquacious 04 October | 22:51

I just emailed Cory: "Some random MeFi girl wants to make out with you."

*evil grin* Enjoy.

He says "Ha."

Would you like a forward?

posted by loquacious 05 October | 02:25

You should get The Woz to come up for the Portland meetup. That would be totally rad.

woz is on WBUR's "On Point" today.. check your local(?) listings

fwiw

*sigh*
the important part was not the making out, but rather, did I see him on the streetcar in toronto, or was it a CD doppleganger?

You rascal. I ought to give you a spanking when I'm done with Mr. Doctorow ;)
