tysond - aka System.Object boy!

That's cool, now Tyson decide to rename himself System.Object Boy.

For my non-technical readers (and I know you're out there guys, don't worry the warden assures me you'll be able to continue to read this blog so long as you STAY CALM and TAKE YOUR MEDS), this means I'm the absolute most basic thing available.  If DataGrid girl is "Peugot 206 CC 2.0L in Sky Blue Girl", I'm a "Car Man".  If she's "Pentium 4 2.6Ghz with 512Mb RAM, 17 inch monitor and a year free internet girl", I'm "PC man".  I'm the top of the tree - you don't get any higher up the totem pole than me.  Of course I'm kind of useless and generic, but in a FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT WAY.

He seems to be impress by Marcie ;-)

Sorry I can't resist I have to publish his prose ;-)

It's a strange world where one can become a celebrity of the developer world by naming oneself after a (particularly useful) library class.  DataGrid girl travels the world talking about DataGrids -- a piece of user interface that programmers can use to make neat little tables from database information.  By aligning herself completely with a single user interface feaeture, she transcends the human experience of merely speaking about a technology.  She is not merely an expert on DataGrids.  She is the DataGrid girl.  People queue for miles to meet her.  She is flown around the world to speak about her namesake.  Madonna is considering working with her on her next albumn.  Her blog gets 10 or 20 comments per article.  The last point rankles me the most.

DataGrid Girl is larger than life.  Speakers at Tech.Ed dread the thought of having a session on at the same time as DataGrid Girl is speaking as it means nobody will go to their session.

LOL ;-))

  • Actually I think it's pretty sad. I've noticed that most bloggers are as shallow as most of the 12 year olds who worship Britney Spears. Worse still they crave fame through their blogs instead of writing code.
