I am a geek

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I used to subscribe to PC Magazine and PC Computing, about the only two computer magazines out at that time . One of the coolest things about these magazines was the back page, where both magazines had a humor column. PC's was called Control-Alt-Delete, and it had funny stories and pictures of funny ads and store-front signs. PCC's was by an author I had never heard of before (his name was Penn Jillette, if you don't know who he is, just follow the link) but I figured out from context he was a magician. And funny. And a geek about computers, like me. His columns were hilarious. And every one had a reference to some model/actress that I had never heard of (her name was Uma Thurman, if you don't know who she is, just follow this link) I ran across a listing of his articles here, and while most of the technology is dated, as is some of the Clinton jokes, most of the humor is still there. Start reading with the earliest one (at the bottom), but if you don't remember computers without Windows, you may not get some of the jokes.
