I love all your blogs, this is the one subject as a non-hardware person I know you're qualified to talk about ❤

Thanks, I think?

I feel like blogging is a skill, one that needs to be honed and practiced regularly. I'm deeply jealous of Yegge, and I'm not sure I'll ever get close.

For the record, the image is discussed at 1:10:27. Adam did some sleuthing to discover the image, which is the New Yorker caption contest from 7/23/2007 (aside: I nailed the year!). Here were the finalists, also dug up by Adam: 1. "Have you considered writing this story in the third monkey rather than the first monkey?" 2. "We'll have to run it by our infinite number of editors." 3. "Sorry, guys. It's another rejection letter." I will let the Internet be the judge over those submissions versus by own, but, needless to say, I stand by my own sense of grievance from nearly two decades ago.
