When I need advice from a brilliant young geeks, where better to find it than in the IRC of Joi Ito? Here is some good advice I got from ado, aka Adriaan Tijsseling, developer of ecto (http://ecto.kung-foo.tv), who blogs at http://blog.kung-foo.tv and is aka adriaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
[9:36:30:] Betsy_Devine: Hey, anybody here know how to spell “rulez”? I think it should be “r00lz” or something, shouldn’t it?
[9:36:48:] ado: it’s “rules”…
[9:36:54:] Betsy_Devine: Or maybe if I can’t spell it I just shouldn’t try.
[9:37:09:] Betsy_Devine: Oh, ado, how am I going to sound hip if I spell it like that?
[9:37:18:] ado: never try to sound hip
[9:37:22:] Betsy_Devine: :-(
[9:37:24:] imajes_: heh
[9:37:24:] ado: you are hip or you aren’t
[9:37:28:] Betsy_Devine: meef
Un-hip people are known for ignoring sound advice.
