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:

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

-Each of my computers is named after a member of the Grateful Dead. The linux box is garcia, the iMac is weir, laptop is lesh, and two older computers I have were pigpen and barlow. I never use their names in speech though.

-I think that's illegal within city limits here. And anyway, we are low on hot sauce and fishbowls.

-Every chance I get.

Okay, I admit, I have no idea what anthropomorphize means.
