I, Kiwinewt, am a TechnoHippy.

Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

Project Anyone?

Posted by kiwinewt on 21 June, 2008

WoW

Posted by kiwinewt on 4 June, 2008

Why is it that World of Warcraft has no “piss off I just want to run around not get the sh*t beaten out of me” mode? I know its all about the quests and defeating the evil (insert choice of horde/alliance here) and everything, but what if I’m in a foul mood and just dont [...]
