How you know you’re in Silicon Valley

Car with geeky bumper sticker

I saw a good example of why I knew I was in Silicon Valley this weekend. This car, in front of me, had a bumper sticker that said, simply:

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

What's worse, is I knew just what it meant. :-)

I'm still trying to figure out, though, why a Gnome was in Montana. Maybe they'll come to Gnomedex? (This was shot on a car outside the hospital in Billings, MT, where my mom was staying).

    I used to have a bumper sticker reading “Friends don’t let friends boot OS/2″.

    GNOME = Linux! Or maybe it was a real gnome.

    GNOME, in this case, is probably short for Genome. As in Human Genome project. Most likely a doctor/scientist of some sort. Plenty of that sort of thing going on in Billings.

    I like the shirt that says:

    “There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don’t.”

    My favorite shirt, which I bought from badwool.com :
    (Front): Thank you for calling Technical Support…
    (Back): … Your ignorance is my job security.

    Hello, Darling! I’m localhost!

    I don’t get it. Surely you mean “No place like ~”

    I’ve been away a while
