The Great Geek To Do List

  • Wake Up.

  • Check E-mail.

  • Dawn your favorite geeky t-shirt.

  • Organize box of spare cables that you never use.

  • Consider that since you no longer have dial-up and no one ever calls, why is it you are still paying for phone service?

  • Check E-mail.

  • Save some time to drool over the newest Nvidia chipset you can't afford.

  • Write down all the inflammatory Mac slurs you can think of on a 3'x5' card for easy reference.

  • Dust off your keyboard. No one likes a messy keyboard.

  • Check E-mail.

  • Spend three hours writing a script that organizes all your desktop icons by priority and saves you 24 seconds every morning.

  • Spend 40 minutes troubleshooting said script that just deleted all your desktop icons.

  • Break up the day with some Sci-Fi. TRON, Star Wars, Planet Of The Apes...or whatever.

  • Check E-mail.

  • Verify WiFi signal strength.

  • Spend 2 hours building a homemade WiFi antenna booster from cardboard and aluminum foil.

  • Check E-mail.

  • Check E-Mail from your mobile device.

  • Send test E-Mail to verify E-mail is still working.

  • Put the finishing touches on your one eighth scale trebuchet.

  • Lay siege to stormtrooper stronghold, with aforementioned trebuchet.

  • Check E-mail.

  • Enter 10 hour gaming coma with breaks only for the restroom and Mt Dew.

  • Post a to do list to your blog.

    1. I couldn't relate to much of it, but I have been known to send a "test" to my email to make sure it's receiving! That was before all the spam -- I no longer have to wonder. :)

      I don't think there were enough email checks on this list to make it a bonafide Geek to do list. Or is it that geeks just don't get that much email? They are, ya know, geeks afterall.

    3. Have you been spying on me again? For some reason this list sounds very familiar... except the Mac bashing on a 3x5 card! No, it more like the PC bashing on a Tabloid 11x17 page. Funny stuff.

    4. That list was great. I was glad to confirm that I'm not a geek (although I do check my email a lot for business reasons)! :)

      Yeah... I agree. I have added some more in the vain hope of making this post slightly amusing... It sounded funnier in my head...
