I…hate…Major Nelson.
And yet I can’t stop listening to him, week after week. Here there be Kool-aid fans, ladies and germs.
Never hiding my blatant Microsoft fanboydom, I will shovel unmeasured heaps of Xbox 360-related propaganda in my brain with the tenacity of a strung-out coke whore. It’s honestly unfortunate to hear the frustrating softball questions, the blind defense of poor technological solutions, and the painful ego-stroking that goes on week after week. Let us take the second of these as a jump-off point…
I really have a soft spot for technology that has an incredible level of accessibility to it. When I speak of accessibility, I don’t just mean ease of use (which is the classic sense of the term, of course). I mean true layman accessibility. Far too often in my overly-geeky years on this planet have I delved 76-trillion layers deep into Techville, being amazingly fascinated at some very impressive technological advancements. As I’ve gotten a bit older, I’ve found that what REALLY gets me moving is not just an impressive leap, but one that is put to good use.
