I dunno, I don't really follow fashion but I like to buy nice clothes sometimes. Jeans and a t-shirt can get boring after a while, sometimes it's nice to just mix it up. loupgaroublond: I actually wear suits on the weekend to make up for the fact I do most of my work in a dressing gown =)

I compared computer talk with dog talk, which I avoid as hard as I can. I can't avoid clothes (so far), and I can stand talk about them (for a short time). Thanks for sharing This is a great post.

If i'm wearing a suit, i fail at life. In all seriousness, there's a bit of a difference in models here. Clothing, like alot of things are limited by the physical world and it's properties. The digital stuff we deal with has a very different set and kind of limits on it because it's abstract. This is why pants and shirts are fundamentally compatible rather than one guy making a two piece shirt-pants ensemble and someone else doing a three piece set. It encourages people to work together, whereas digital stuff needs more incentives in place. You can ask max, i told him my life’s goal is to measure success by the clothes i’m wearing.

Comparing love of technology to love of clothes is eye opening and funny! I've been meaning to write a blog post about clothes - my main concern is that I'm wearing appropriate clothes for the occasion - but I never would have thought to compare it to how I feel about technology.
