An Entirely Other Day: I Saw Some of the Best Minds

Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss.

Mar 28 1995

So I'm driving to work, listening to the radio and people are calling in and complaining about how "Pulp Fiction" should have won Best Picture instead of "Forrest Gump."

One guy is going on about how the Academy always rewards movies that have nothing to do with reality, man, it's just those rich Hollywood types who don't know anything about what life is like, man, when the DJ cuts in says that's obviously not true, you monkey, 'cause "Schlindler's List" won last year.

"Well, yeah," says the guy, "but that was set in the 50's."

Hi there! My name's GREG KNAUSS and I like to make things.

Some of those things are Web sites (like the Webby-nominated Metababy and The American People), software (both commercial and open-source, including contributions to projects like CPAN and XScreenSaver) and stories (for Web sites like Suck and Fray, print magazines like Worth and Macworld, and books like "Things I Learned About My Dad" and "Rainy Day Fun and Games for Toddler and Total Bastard").

My e-mail address is greg@eod.com. I'd love to hear from you!
