resist, resist!

I must be what passes for a Luddite among my extremely geeky peer group:

1. I do not do MySpace.

2. I do not do Facebook.

3. I only use IM for talking to enotsola.

4. The big shocker: I do not have a cell phone or equivalent. (This always seems to throw customer-service types for a loop. They stutter amusingly for a moment while they skip to the next personal-information question.)

It's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!

That's the point. Especially since it would still hurt less than looking at the MySpace page.

I am actively hostile towards these things.

Oh, okay then. Cool. I've just heard the term used too many times by people who simply mean "Not a serious geek; not making maximum use of technology."

See, those folks need to quit diluting the term, so that when you use it properly, I'll understand you the way you mean it!

Erm, it was a quote?

Oh. Erm, I don't recognize it? :)
