The new nerdiness will be offline. Mainly because it takes dedication and real effort to withdraw from the online space that evil corporations have so thoroughly hijacked and destroyed.

Yep! And this weatherman has more I take issue with his comments on summer heat: I can DEFINITELY feel the difference between 110 and 115. 110 is downright hot and 115 is just miserable. One Sunday we had to drive home from church with the windows rolled down because the air went out...
