New Tech Terms for 2013 (9 posts)

Topic tags: tech terms, tech words
  • Morn’n Folks.

    I ran across this at Computerworld this morning and just had to share it.  It was a hoot but in the end, not so improbable. 

    New tech words for the new year

    There are three pages for this article and at the end – “McAflee” – If you have followed the McAfee saga (flight from Belize to Guatemala and subsequent exportation to the U.S.) you’ll understand the term very easily. I G+’d and tweeted almost every blog entry he made during the (terrified of Belize government flight) and this is certainly an apt term.  Funny too.

    Ha! I like PAWN: Passive Agressive Wifi Names. The link to the BBC article detailing it is pretty funny, too. 

  • HI @rich-brooks   

    Altogether a pretty enjoyable read.  Something to break the monotony of reading you know, everything else out there. Heh.

  • @supereb Fun article. Thanks for the share. The HIRL was great and, yes, I have followed the McAflee story a bit :)

  • Hi @kc_kreative   

    So much of what I read is not good news so when I find an article that needs to be shared I try to do that.

    I don’t know exactly how they feel about this here in the clubs.  Everyone can find this stuff on their own through their social media accounts and just generally, online research.  

    So far, none of us have been smacked down for it, even when it is not “social media,” per se. I think we’ve been lucky and I try not to overdo this sort thing here.  Knock on wood, eh? Heh.

    This is thing we should be doing —>  connecting at other places so we can share LOTS of information.

    Eileen ;)

    Though I’ve never felt the need to McAflee from authorities or PAWN my neighbors, I must confess I’ve secretly dreamed of HIRLing through the treetops… ziplining a rainforest, perhaps? Alas, for the time being, HIRLing with Miss Amy’s MailChimp friends might be the closest thing I’ll ever get to a real life hang….

  • @supereb Funny and crazy! I didn’t even hear about the McAfee thing. I’m working in a closet for heavens sake! And HIRL? Isn’t that a networking meeting? I must be getting old! lol!

  • Hi @rich-brooksThat was probably my favorite.  Very personal to certain parties. 

    The one I learned from though was “Gangnam Style” – I have not been a big video person, in fact not doing any video for myself.  Some of my clients do, with great results. I’ve been planning to jump on that for uh, years. I just have not had the time and I’ve been encouraged lately to finally DO something with video.
