alpha geek

One of the coolest things about working for MacBU is that I get paid to be a Mac geek. Even better, I get paid to work with another 180 Mac geeks. Is it possible to get better than this? I can't imagine how.

For the past few months, the single most discussed topic for hallway conversations has been Office:Mac 2008. Last week, and by all indications this week, all conversations turned to the iPhone. It's the first time that we've talked about anything else, and it honestly feels a little bit weird.

Several people in MacBU have fed their inner Mac geek and acquired iPhones over the weekend, and we're now the alpha geeks. It won't last long -- whoever hacks theirs in some interesting way first will be the true alpha geek, but for now, simply owning the device is sufficient for alpha-geekdom.
