Video: Stephen Fry Shows His Inner Geek Talking About The Internet
Stephen Fry is a British comedian who just happens to be insanely intelligent and creative. As well as being an actor and director, he has also been known to write the odd novel.
Most of you should be familiar with his film and TV work, but you may not know how big a technophile he is.
In this video he talks about the Internet, his experiences with it, as well as his favourite websites, all packaged with his usual dry wit.

Haha. S. Fry is hilarious. Funny stuff. Had no idea about his technophilisticness.

On a more sombre note he is also bipolar and on one occasion tried to commit suicide. I watched a doco he made about bipolar disease last year and I recall seeing him in one of his manic states running through a shop in London buying up any new gadget or dvd that caught his eye.

I really like Stephen Fry. He was perfectly cast as Oscar Wilde in this movie from 1997! My favorite bits of him on the web are to be found here and here.
Thank you for sharing this. He may be bipolar, gay and whatever, but: “I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance. That is my religion, and every day I am sorely, grossly, heinously and deeply offended, wounded, mortified and injured by a thousand different blasphemies against it. When the fundamental canons of truth, honesty, compassion and decency are hourly assaulted by fatuous bishops, pompous, illiberal and ignorant priests, politicians and prelates, sanctimonious censors, self-appointed moralists and busy-bodies, what recourse of ancient laws have I? None whatever. Nor would I ask for any. For unlike these blistering imbeciles my belief in my religion is strong and I know that lies will always fail and indecency and intolerance will always perish.”
