Don't feel bad, Sergey Brin also thought he was annoying at one point in time.
Personally I think it's cool that he's well known enough to annoy Sergey Brin but that's just me.

Well, it is a personal blog post and this post in particular is meant to convey personal preference (as evident by the whole semi-autobiography about his game app). The title was probably jokingly chosen to be generic on purpose (the post alludes to that in the fist paragraph).
> articles
Ah, see, a Yegge blog post isn't an article, it's an essential touchstone of the computer geek experience. You don't get persuaded by his arguments, but instead… delighted, filled with whimsy, and joy?
sarcasm off, his posts also fall south of my reading:substance ratio
No, not really.

Well, I haven't noticed.

Actually, to TFA as well. His arguments are trivial generics without much substance. Such articles irritate me greatly.
