Dear Colleagues,

I apologize for using the word "s
puter
labs suck."  It's not professional language.  Instead, I was drawing on the
pop-culture vernacular form of geekspeak wherein, for instance, a web site
is either "cool," or it "sucks."  (That's what the kids are saying
nowadays.)

SEE: I was trying to market a bit, to, if you will,  "suck in" people who
deal in such vapid terminology everyday.  Get them interested.  Shake them
up, maybe.  In a poetic sense I was drawing a parallel: The descriptive
terminology in the hyped-up pop-tech world is as shallow as many of the ways
in which we apply pop-tech.

Sorry, I hadn't meant to offend.

Jeff Hastings
