The Geek’s Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the geek’s night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a hard drive was whirring, not a single clicking mouse;
The gadgets were charging in their docks so fine,
In hopes that St. Nick shopped at Best Buy online;
The geeks were all snuggled all warm in their beds,
While visions of netbooks did dance in their heads.
With a click and a whir there arose such a clatter,
As the smartphones and Blackberries began to all chatter;
A song they did sing to ring in good cheer,
In their sleep geeks were smiling for what did they hear?
Nothing, it was all SSDs here,
And as they settled their heads back down in the bed,
They dreamed of the gadgets that might be colored red;
An iPhone, a new Palm, or an HDTV,
Could that be what they’d find underneath the tree?
As the geeks fell asleep with their eyes all aglow,
And the visions of electrons did come and did go;
With a whoosh down the chimney the gear did alight,
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
clever! and I don’t know, it seems _on topic_ to me.
Hehe, Happy Xmas guys.
The “not a single clicking mouse” line throws the rhythm in that line (always a critic from the English majors, haha).
Just kidding guys, nice job… and yeah… ever since I installed an SSD in my laptop at home, I have had trouble falling asleep at night without the white noise of the hard drive clatter and CPU fan.
Nice job guys! Happy Holidays to you and your families. I’m looking forward to hopefully meeting you both out at CES.
Cute jingle. What’s an SSD? Sounds contagious. Nahh, nevermind. I’ll look it up.
merry christmas to all at jkontherun or just to reflect the international following you guys get as we say here in Irish ‘Nollaig Shona’
Reminded me of this CES night before Christmas, well done.
