Posted by CowboyNeal on from the debating-debates dept.

bscience writes "I just arrived at the 4th annual Gnomedex conference kicking off this weekend in Lake Tahoe, California. Thursday night began the Geek Convention with a room packed full of bloggers watching and writing about the presidential debate. Friday and Saturday bring Woz, Wheaton, Pirillo and an entire cast of alpha geeks reporting in every chance they can."

    First off, let me say that "blog" sounds like something smelly that you call a plumber to take care of because your toilet is clogged up.

    Second - WTF is the big deal? Random people write shit on web pages. Who cares? It's like going down to the corner bar and listening to some blowhard, except that now he can reach millions of people if they are so bored that they want to read about some dweeb's opinions.

    Why couldn't they just get a room full of people to talk about the debate? Ooooh, they write it on the web! Wow! That makes it important! Different! High tech! Blog blog blog.
