Things Geeks Appreciate
I spent the day at the new Rackspace Headquarters. First visit since I went with Scoble early this year. It was under construction then (I am now a Mosso/Rackspace employee).
What impressed me? The Dyson Airblade.
Really - a hand blower/dryer that actually works!
Everything in the bathrooms is no touch - even the soap dispenser (which I love, coming from a medical background).
But the Airblade - very cool. It actually works! In like 15 seconds! And your hands are dry.
I want one.
I tried to take one, but I didn’t have the right set of tools to steal one. Besides, I was in a high level meeting, and walking in with the hand dryer would have been odd.
I love great tech - and Dyson makes amazing stuff. I LOVE their vacuums. How many geeks do you know that talk about vacuums? Only the ones who have bought a Roomba OR a Dyson. The Dyson is a work of technology and art. The Roomba is a conversation piece.
Some of the key Mosso/Rackspace employees geeked out over the Dyson products today.

Rob says only geeks talk about vacuums and I agree. I just happen to be a big fan of Miele vacuums…what can I say?
