Geeky Things...
...I've Never Done I've never been to LinuxWorld (Not for lack of trying though...next year!) I've never played a traditional, non computer based, RPG. (I'm a little short on geeky friends...okay, a lot short) I've never modded my computer case. (Unless you count the time, I built and ran my computer without a case...) I have no geeky tattoos (I think I'd like a Tux on my shoulder) I've never purchased GeekWare (Though I have lots of free vendor shirts) I've never been to MacWorld (Here's to minor blessings!) I've never been Wardriving (Though I have hijacked a *few* wireless connections. Shhh...)Though I am a huge Star Trek Fan, I do not own a uniform, and would never be seen with Spock ears on. In addition I've never been to a Star Trek Convention (These places look very scary, and I the worst part is, I think I would fit in. I'd rather not find out.) I've never purchased a cellular phone. (This is will be rather jaw dropping to many of you)...I Have DoneWorked in the call center, and used 1D-10-T on numerous customers.(When geeks attack...we're so lame)Fried over $1000 worth of computer hardware during an upgrade (When I was 15 I think... What a nasty smell)Over 24 hours of straight gaming. (For the record, I was still awake when my friend fell asleep at the keyboard).Was a member of several BBS's. (I sometimes miss the modem years)Tried to build a robot. (Boys and their mechanical servants)Wrote a video game (yeah... It sucked.)Interrupted a sales clerk in the computer store, while they were talking to a customer, to correct them. (I hate computer store sales clerks... for the record) Dressed up like Neo. Yes there is proof. (No. I'll never post it)Started numerous blogs (Guilty.)Quoted Sci-Fi unashamedly in public.
(Clerk -"You're short $1.50"
Me-"Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?"
Wife -"groan")
I love lists like those. There are some things about geekdom that actually look appealing and I am stoked that my word verification was honestly... sucka
