The Name

First off, we don't make oddly interesting software for children. Second, -- and we know it's on all your minds -- who or what is the Weird Kid? Is it a person, a nickname, an accusation, an insult, a nerdism? All of the above?

It's an identifier, a tribute to all those perceived as or internally feeling different from the status quo. Weird is not necessarily ugly or nerdy or even unusually smart. Weird is simply a state of being assigned to those in our culture who don't follow the standard patterns and procedures associated with daily life. Weird implies a sort of meta-consciousness and a hyper-awareness and the unavoidable discussions thereof. However, Weird is not an elitism. Weird aches to spread understanding through the analysis and agitation of all that is not weird. Weird has intellectual facets as well as entertainment value. Weird does not require an audience and is rather indifferent of one. Weird is for Weirdness' sake. Weird is making a goofy face at a stranger across the room and having that person make a goofy face back with no fanfare or further discussion. Weird is good. Be Weird. It's okay.
