Are We Too Late for the Big Geek Contest?

Last December, Gizmodo ran a “Biggest Dork” contest that we blogged about. In that posting, I talked about a picture that I wished I’d had to send in, of my son Blake, sitting at his grandmother’s Unix terminal. Well, we finally found it. Are we too late for the contest? I guessed that the picture was of him at 3 or 4. It’s actually from the Spring of 1989, so he’s just shy of 2. His grandmother was a researcher at Bell Labs and she had a dumb term in her house. Blake is working in a Unix drawing program (ever the artist, that kid). Look at him work that mouse. Look at that mouse!

So, what does this have to do with the price of volatile memory in China? Not a thing. Pardon a papa blogger’s indulgence. And apologies to the boy.

Thanks, Sande!
