It is to laugh. Rick Segal, a Canadian VC who writes a blog called The Post Money Value<\/a>, has a great — if embarrassing — post<\/a> about himself, and a text-messaging chat he was having on his BlackBerry with a friend. They were discussing how a good RSS reader would be nice to have on the Berry, and then Maryam said “check out the moon in the east.”<\/p>\n

So naturally, Rick went to a Google search window and typed in “moon in the east” and RSS<\/a>. That’s how you check things out, right? You look them up on Google. But he was confused by what he found. “Okay. I’m dense. Is this in google? For RSS?” he wrote to Maryam, who responded — although I’m sure it’s difficult to type when you’re laughing so hard — “In the sky, you geek. You know, outside? In the real world?”<\/p>\n

Kudos to Rick for not only admitting this, but doing so on his blog, in full view of everyone. I haven’t been there, Rick, but I have gotten darn close \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
