So today, I noticed an article from Wired that details the arrival of Nerdcore, a genre which derives its origins from “nerd” culture and “hardcore” hip-hop.

While gangsta rap is seen as celebrating the violence and aggression that claimed two of its brightest stars, “geeksta” rap is a hip-hop genre celebrating coding skills and school grades.

So I’m thinking to myself:

– Yea, I consider myself a bit of a nerd;
– I’ve recently joined a Posse;
– And while I don’t rap on a mic, I rant on a mic;
– And these rants, along with the voices of the rest of my Posse, are published and sent out to the masses.

OMG, I think I’ve become a Nerdcore Gangsta!

So I’ve ranted a bit about ICT,
’bout Angel & Blackboard & WebCT,
But all that software is proprietary,
They’re not open source, and they’re not for free.

Now Moodle & Sakai are getting play,
There’s great support, and they give it away,
I can’t wait to see a much brighter day,
When we see that open source is a better way.

Aiiiiiiiiight!
Peaaaace out!

Allright, I promise to never do that again.
