John Hodgman Interview

Engadget interviews the "PC Guy" from the mac ads.

The villain of any story is often the most compelling character. Justin, who is brilliantly funny, of course must play the hero, and the Luke Skywalkers of the world always catch a certain amount of flack. It's unfair, but inevitable, and I don't think it has caused people to buy more PCs anymore than it caused people to root for the empire over the Jedi. The Jedi still are the best. And they don't get viruses.

How did you maneuver me into a Star Wars discussion? Damn internet.

John is a hilarious writer in his own right. I saw one of his pieces on The Daily Show a few weeks back. I'm sure you could find it on youtube...
