    W(ell) O(ff) O(lder) F(olk)S >>> WOOFS…perhaps referring to senior/executive management social circles. I’ll be visiting sis in SF w/in Month. I may try to meet up with some LBS admits…

    I think it’s hilarious. It’s probably just a ridiculing of other abbreviations such as yuppie (young urban professional bla) and dinks (double income no kids) that sociologists come up with. WOOFS just sounds like a dog rather than a “customer segment”. I love your new words, some of them are really hilarious (as is today’s quote… do these streets really exist? It sounds like geek heaven!)

    I guess angie is referring to this quote “You May Be from Silicon Valley if…You know where Woz Way, Resistor Avenue, and Floppy Drive are located.”

    (by the way, the quotes are not daily, but random, every time you reload the page, there is a new “Patxi favorite quote”!)

    This is a geek paradise as you can imagine. Here, when you hit a stone there are no bugs under it, but bits and bytes and cables and gadgets, incredible but true! Everything is high-tech in the Valley. Or, depending on how you look at it: there is only high tech in the Valley!
