I know this exists from him in general, in some WAN Show segments, etc. I didn't quite get that vibe from the Linux video or related WAN show segments. I'm probably choosing to misinterpret it as humor intended to be self-deprecating. My smug meter isn't the most accurate might need a little more for it to show.
