I'm not sure what level the Nerd Alert alarm needs to be set to right now, but it definitely needs to be triggered. I don't know if you use Snapchat, but everybody else does. Granted, I do not because I am a 26-year-old who already stares at screens for entirely too long and does not need to add another reason to contract early on-set cataracts. Perhaps you already use it for all your dick pic sending needs. Point is, you may already know who Evan Spiegel is: 25-year-old Snapchat co-founder, its current CEO, the youngest billionaire alive and well known doucher. He's also a fairly recognized fashion nerd. Spiegel wore an Acne Studios sweatshirt and Common Projects at a Vanity Fair summit last year and guess where homie is now? On the fucking cover of L'Uomo Vogue's October issue.

What in the world, man? We're supposed to accept that tech dudes are scrub ass dorks, crafting code (whatever the fuck that is) late into the night while chomping on Doritos and slamming Mountain Dew Code Red. They aren't supposed to encroach into our lane of moderately less scrub ass dorks, crafting blog posts late into the night while chomping on Baked Lays and slamming doppios. But Spiegel ON THE FUCKING COVER of a world-renowned men's fashion magazine is pretty crazy.

The story itself is a basic primer on Snapchat, but also touches on his penchant for the glamorous, like driving his Ferrari down the Pacific Coast and dating Miranda Kerr. God, I hate this guy so much. This only serves as a reminder that nerds are winning in 2k15. Again, he's dating Miranda Kerr.

Still, the only fashionable tech due we acknowledge is Twitter's Jack Dorsey, who recently wore Rick Owens Island Dunks on stage (see below), prefers his dress shirts to be exclusively Dior Homme and was recently named permanent CEO of the entire timeline.
