Livejournallers are "dysfunctional geeks and gun nuts"

A comment on this Samizdata.net post amused:
I just finished a meeting with a company regarding the filiming of a TV advert for their web-based job search company. It was suggested that they explore the possibility of using a weblog to expand their web reach, against which the in-house webdesigner launched a somewhat excessive tirade along the lines of. "nobody except dysfunctional geeks and pro-Bush gun nuts reads those sort of things" and then asked how many of us actually had a blog.

Everyone (about 9 of us) except him raised a hand ...
Quick handcount now puts me on 5 (sort of) with a lot more on the way very soon, most to be collaborative.

Met with my MP Wednesday. He's thinking of setting one up, can I help? Hmm...

Mat thinks back to his 'plan for the year'. Yup, as I was going to work on you to start one, helping you do so before I've even started the effort seems like a good plan...

Exeter Wargames show tomorrow (well, today), will be selling some old gaming stuff on the bring and buy; had no idea Minas Tirith was worth that much, probably eBay that one if no one picks it up. No plans afternoon/early evening yet, going to a party later evening.
