Employment For The Luddites

I had no idea my in-laws or my parents could write for Wired magazine.

Yes, this post is a thinly veiled attempt to get everyone off of my back for being a logical father.

  1. Hey! My dad had a problem with the Chinese language bit. Good thing my mom, COMPUTER SUPPORT EXTRAORDINARE, was there to find a solution and then spend the better part of two hours explaining to JC how she fixed it.

    JC loves nothing better than to discuss computers with my mother.

    Consider it payback for being such a cold-hearted jackass. Payback's a bitch.

  2. p.s. What's a luddite? School Computer won't let me go to Wiki to look it up.

    It's always such a learning experience over here at your blog.

    p.s. Maybe I should call my mom and she could hack into School Computer so that I can view blocked sites. I'll have her call you tonight to talk it over.

    You're welcome.

  3. Did you know that this is the public version of the interweb? So that means your parents can read this too.

    In the OMG Department: Sherry doesn't know the meaning of a word AND she doesn't have the means to correct the situation! Hello? You work in a school.

    Lud?dite
    n.

    1. Any of a group of British workers who between 1811 and 1816 rioted and destroyed laborsaving textile machinery in the belief that such machinery would diminish employment.
    2. One who opposes technical or technological change.

    Seriously, the school is blocking access to reference websites like:

  4. Guess I'll think twice before trying to make your day and leave you a comment on your little blog...

    And, *if* my parents could find this site, I doubt that they would recognize that it was about them.

    I'm going back to The Litter Box. Much less hostile over there.

  5. If only you could access The Litter Box from work...bummer.

  6. It's worth the wait...new content every day, fascinating articles and a cute chick who runs the thing.

    Care to argue about any of that, Mouthpiece Boy?

  7. I have a new paradigm, I'm an anarchistic luddite.

  9. I just looked up the word snarky. It means irritable. I thought it meant quick-witted/satirical. These threads make a lot more sense now.

  10. So now I'm irritable? Great.
