Every weekday, some ridiculously hot woman talks about nine cool things on the internet. Check her out in Yahoo's vlog, The 9.
One of "the 9" things today was a link to Board Games With Scott. Somebody made a post about it on BGG, so then a stampede of hairy, overweight, middle-aged men waddled over to The 9's website to show their support for Scott by voting for BGWS as the coolest thing of the day. I'm pretty certain that, practically speaking, this accomplished nothing, but it was still an impressive display of what can be accomplished by geeky people in large numbers. Scott currently commands 55% of the vote.
One guy "booted up my Lan PArty systems to get in a few extra votes from unique IPs." Nice, nice. "All Hail the Power of the Geek!", indeed.
And apparently, the word "vlog" is now a legitimate part of the English language.
