Tongue in Cheek Geek Humor from the PDC
An old colleague (Biff Gaut) of mine has a great daily newsletter from the PDC. This is certainly targeted for those of us looking for a “light” look at all things new that come out of PDC, but at times very technical with a perspective from someone who has been in the industry for some time (20+ years), started off as a C or C++ developer (not sure how early as I started with C/ASM).
But, as always, with the technical content comes the sometimes dry, humor that only Biff can interweave into the Geek content.

To go back a few years, take a look at some of his prescience`:

Kind of reminds me of Mr. Bunny’s Guide to ActiveX – which is on my all time favorite reading list – if you know anything about ActiveX in the early days (COM to be specific), then this book is also a great, dry humor read.
Biff, I apologize for the overuse of the word “dry” in this post.
