    There’s a certain level of geeky connection that comes from naming a computer or a device. Some people seem to have naming schemes and consistent themes. I generally don’t. So Tumblr, what do you call your machines?

    Characters from Pocoyo. I used to have Pocoyo (Macbook), Pato (PC running Ubuntu), Elly (iPod Classic), and Loula (old iPod Shuffle), but with moving a month ago, and the recent demise of my Macbook, I only currently have Elly.

    Sidenote: Pocoyo is amazing. Lots of it on Youtube, check it out.

    My household is chock-full of Young Ones homages. My wife’s MacBook Pro, for example, is named Neil, and my iMac is named Vyvyan.
