I have something to confess. I've been reading about this Gawker site for a long time already (probably ever since it became popular) - but I don't know what it is, I don't remember reading any article from it, only articles about it. Is it another us-centric thing, like the Super Bowl? Or maybe it is just not geeky enough for my liking? Well - to be honest I am not that interested in the answer to this question. I am already assuming that it is not an interesting site.
