The Rudnick is switching into Social Sciences Researcher Mode again. Mostly because he's been reading Marty's copy of Sex/Machine, which is this big collection of cultural studies essays about gender/technology interactions...

Not that you guys are any sort of representative sample, but... could you comment up some responses? I'm curious:

- Does your computer have a name?
- Do you tend to anthropomorphize your computer?
- Do you normally name and/or anthropomorphize your things?

-Yes. Giggles's name has always been Giggles. :-) If, however, I got a laptop, I might rename her just to fit a scheme (such as, like one I've considered, Jade and Ruby).
-Very much so. It's not "Giggles has a b0rked processor," it's "Giggles is in a coma. She's temporarily lost brain function."
-Not really. If I ever do it again, I'll probably do it to my car.
