John Hodgman, the PC personified in the Apple ads, is just as nerdy in real life. I felt compelled to harass him about Vista, and then found myself sadly apologetic as he looked back at me with that hurt stare. But then he explained that he actually uses a Mac.

Duh. I guess I should not have been surprised at this, but he is my mental image of all things Microsoft, and I have a hard time shaking it, even when he is on stage talking about alien abductions off to sex pyramids.
