Nerds To Go Computer Service, Cars, 8/2014 Branford, CT, by Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube
I spotted this girl on facebook. Took a screen cap and added the bottom image. This is an example of creative audiences, as I took the memetic image of the titular "Idiot nerd girl" (synonymous with the delusion of supposed geek credentials) and applied it to the image above, creating a new meaning. This is an example of a remix.
The young woman on the left is a paragon of thoughtfulness and politeness.
Actually, so is the young woman on the right, but I'm specifically thinking of how nice it was that when the former introduced herself and said that I'd taken her picture last year, she let me ruminate in silence for a few seconds before I got it.
"Yes! The incredibly cool lathe! That's one of my all-time favorite pictures!"
Interestingly (well, to me, anyway) that photo was taken during my first couple of weeks with the D80. It was one of the first photos that made me think that (damn!) this is a great, fun camera.
We had a nice little chat and then I was distracted by the large padded envelope they were carrying. When she showed me her prize, I involuntarily invoked the name of the deity.
"Unpopulated glass circuit boards," she said, proudly. Each was about 20" on a side, and there were four of them. "I'm going to turn them into tables."
"How much were they?"
(Always a dangerous question.)
"Three bucks for the whole package."
(See?)
"I now like you a whole lot less than I did four minutes ago," I said.
What a prize! I would have spent three months just figuring out the perfect way to use them. Already I'm thinking that I'd make an oak table with a glass top, and would mount the boards so that they appeared to "float" underneath them.

To celebrate the launch of my new site a week ago, I decided to get myself a little reward. The description for this Nerd Merit Badge is:
"We wanted to release a “shipped the product” badge. The badge would recognize the accomplishment of conceptualizing a new product, a new website, a new anything, then going ahead and MAKING that thing and sending it out into the world. Finishing it, completing it. Taking it all the way from idea, through excecution, to launch."
Yay me.
I am a spelling nerd, I couldn't let QANTAS's use of 'wether' on their e-tickets go without feedback.
Feedback reads:
"Hello, on page two of your e-ticket, under the 'Sharp objects' heading, the word 'wether' appears. A wether is old english for castrated ram, which I am confident is not sharp. You may have meant whether...
Looking forward to seeing what the spotters prize is for this. :)"
UPDATE: QANTAS got back to me. They emailed today to say;
"Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I have raised this issue with our contact centre management to have this issue investigated immediately."
