I asked on Twitter but I wasn’t blown away by the response, maybe I asked wrong. By that I mean plenty of responses but not much that I’d want to re-link. Plenty of geek canon stuff, but I’m not super into that these days.
Here’s a quick vet of the responses that I thought promising in some way:
Rasslin!

Rands is on our board so I feel obligated by law to link this. It is good though.
Oh dear, someone said the f-word, twenty thousand times. Seemed good.
I am a sucker for a Paul Ford talk, the guy is amazing, on his own wavelength

Reminds me of the other GQ article about the guy who walked into the Maine woods in 1985 and didn’t come out for almost 20 years

Gruber, but short and sweet so I’ll allow it

I’ve read this before, a meditation on loving your mother in a family where love is not shown. It’s good.
Well, Actually – I will see Miguel next week and I still say this should be on his tombstone. It’s life-definingly good, and basically permanently restated all geek relationships.
