Stood next to John Hodgman at the party tonight. I have always enjoyed his Daily Show sketches. And his PC vs Mac advertisements. (He’s a perfect PC.) I wondered what he was like in “real life” so I stood around while other people chatted with him. I didn’t really have much to say to him, so I didn’t. At some point one of the Netflix officers began chatting with him, so I moved in closer and the three of us stood together, me purely in a supportive role (nodding, usually).
“Have you tried our instant watching feature?” he was asked by the Netflix officer.
“I’m a big fan of Netflix,” Hodgman said. “But… hmmm.. I don’t think I have. I can’t imagine why I haven’t tried it.”
“It’s easy, you click the play buttons you see on your PC.”
Hodgman thought for a moment, sort of perplexed. I was dying to ask him the question, but couldn’t bring myself to say it outloud. But his silence said it all.
“You use a Mac, don’t you?” ask the Netflix officer.
“Yea… yea… that’s the problem…”

But you can't picture Hodgeman whining about it, eh? That's why he plays the PC! (apologies in advance to all you Macolytes, it's just a joke)
