Is Scoble an Ass Face?

in Random Bytes

According to Robert Scoble, one of his readers said he didn't know his ass from his face. I've chatted with him and he definitely left me with the impression that he didn't wear his pants on his shoulders.

I don’t write software so if we’re gonna get into that kind of pissing match, I’ll lose.

Apl2eIf being "tech capable" and not being a coder are the criteria, then I guess that means I'm an ass-face as well. I used to write code - when the Apple ][e was hot and I threatened to learn PHP when I busted myself up last winter, and I can still put together my own computer and even find time to enjoy a good RFC – and get it.

There are all types of geeks out here. Some of us, I guess, are just ass-faces. Others, like Robert’s reader, seem to be just mainly asses.

    Of course he doesn't wear his pants on his shoulders. He wears no pants at all, everyone knows he goes Naked.:-)

    Jeez I guess I'm one too. I can muck around with code, but create from scratch ... nope.

    We should see if there is any interest in starting an AssCamp :) I'm sure there's more of us out there!
