WORDS WITH NERDS

DON BROUGHTON – HE’S 30 FROM DURBAN AND IS THE TECHNICAL DRIVING FORCE BEHIND WWW.CART.CO.ZA

1 The app you can’t stop using? I’m a big fan of “Clear” on the iphone. It’s a to-do-list program, and it’s making me seriously efficient. Plus it’s very colourful and makes cool noises too. 2 The most random thing you’ve learnt from the internet? I love gadgetry. I recently learned how to make a parabolic microphone using a metal dish and an old headset’s microphone. Neighbours beware. 3. The last meme that you loved, and the one you hate now? The last meme I loved and am still loving from the outset… Lolcats, I simply cannot get enough of them. Most hated meme: Anything to do with Rick-rolling, I’ve been caught too many times. 4 What you mainly use Facebook for: I mostly have a Facebook account to be able to answer “Yes” when someone asks “Hey, are you on Facebook?”. I don’t use it for much else. 5 What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been tagged doing? I was once tagged in a picture with pencils stuck up my nostrils; I can’t recall why that might have been necessary. 6 The last Tweet you sent/ read? I’m a Tweet consumer; I’m forever reading famous quotes or the latest tech news on Twitter. 7 The last video you watched? Nothing too amazing. It might have been an episode of on the PC. 8 The strangest forum chat you’ve been a part of? More niche than strange – I’m active on forums for video special effects. It’s a hobby I’d like to spend more time on. 9 The last gadget you bought/ were given? A Celluon Magic Cube – basically a laser-projected keyboard device. 10 You know you’re a nerd because… I wake up in the middle of the night and check for e-mail.
