A Geek Farewell

With everything going on in the world right now this is the last thing I thought I'd be writing about.
Never the less, I'm going to miss Tech TV. I know, it's "evolving" and not dying, but I don't think it'll be the same. I have an insatiable appetite for Tech News, and Tech TV went a long way towards satisfying my jones. I began my extremely satisfying journey into Linux with the guiding hand of The Screensavers keeping me steady. (As a side note, my sister is frustrated by the fact that I cannot "conform" and that I have to be a rebel with my Mac and my Linux notebook).
So yeah, some of the stuff was for beginners, but you have to realize I came to geekdom through the art door. So I was in the interesting position that I was proficient on Photoshop long before I knew how to set up an email account in Outlook (or Entorage). The little tips I picked up on The Screensavers and Call For Help helped bring me up to speed on the rest of computing. While now I've grown up a bit, enought to be a Slashdot junkie, I've never stopped watching Tech TV. Now it will never be the same. And for the first time in YEARS I will be without the guiding voice of fellow Mac Addict and all around nice guy Leo Laporte. G4TechTV, if you have a brain in your collective head, you will give Leo his own show. He's probably the most recognized Tech comentator in the world next to that pompous wind bag John C. Dvorak , who's website, I should mention, is broken on Mozilla Firefox For Linux as I type this. (Don't mind me, I don't like John becaused he has signaled the doom of Apple Computer more times than I can count, and yet swears an OS decended from the Amiga will be the next big thing.)

Anyhow, farewll Tech TV, you will be fondly remembered. I'm afraid that I have little use for G4, as the only games I play on my computer involve the Atari 2600 emulator Stella and the only contest show I watch is MXC.

UPDATED It's 11:20 and I'm gonna go curl up next to my sleeping wife, but I just had to say something about this . If ever there was a single thing on this earth I thought could not be charged with controversy, surely it was Bozo the Clown!!!!! What is this world comming to? What is next? A Mickey Mouse sex scandal? This sucks. I'm going to bed.

And that's enough for now.
