Few people have only a letter as a second name. Surely that qualifies as nerdy, asks Collin Roopnarian.
|||Carvin H Goldstone is definitely a nerd. And he’s the funny kind, especially around the standup comedy circuit.
1. The most random Tweet you’ve ever read AND sent?
@carvingoldstone I’m gonna trap you when I see you.
Sent : “I hate twitter” sent on twitter.
2. The most useless thing you learnt from the internet?
When you go onto Google we always click on search. But next to the search icon is an icon that reads “I’m feeling lucky” well I learnt what that icon is used for but I’ve never used it.”
3. The last app you installed, and was it worth it?
MobileBiz and yes it was very useful. It’s a business application to draft invoices, quotes, memos and other stuff I failed at school.
4. The strangest request you've had on Facebook?
Someone asked me, “can you please delete me I added you thinking you were someone else.” It was strange because on facebook we have equal power to delete so why ask me..
5. What the weirdest thing you've been tagged doing?
Photos of me when I was thin. Those are always weird because its been so long.
6. The last thing you Googled, and what won't you ever search for again?
Sizwe Ndlovu. He’s part of the men’s rowing team that won gold. I needed to know if he was from KwaZulu-Natal.
7. The last video you watched online, and the last (legal) thing you downloaded?
The last video I watched was Bert le Clos’ interview with the BBC after his son won gold for South Africa in 200m butterfly swim event at the Olympics. The last thing I downloaded was an Adobe viewer.
8. The last online fight/argument you had, and what was it about?
Religion. That’s the only thing I will engage people on online. It’s always good to argue when there is no right answer it can go on forever.
9. What won’t you ever do on the internet again, based on first hand experience?
I won’t ever do a credit check. I tried to do a credit check online and only after receiving an email saying there was a problem did I realise that I’d just submitted some very important personal information on the internet. I still don’t know what’s my credit status.
10. You know you're a nerd because....
I analyse comments on social media to find out how pauses could change the meaning.
