Absurd Notion
When thinking differently just isn't differnet enough, then it's time to start thinking absurd. Kirk Hiner's Absurd Notion takes a monthly look at the computer industry with the irreverent bent that it so rightly deserves. Kirk firmly believes that not one aspect of human life is above satire, and is pretty sure that the same goes for computer life. It may be absurd to take him seriously, but it's also a lot more fun.
