You Know You’re a Geek When…

I just spent the morning and a greater part of the afternoon with sixteen geeks. Guys - all guys. And I refer to them as ‘geeks’ because they refer to themselves by that term. Via casual observation, I think one qualifies as a geek when…

  1. the pizza restaurants that deliver at noon are on speed dial.

  2. computers and notebooks one owns have cute names.
  3. you know the latest, hilarious binary jokes.
  4. you know the places that sell power drinks in any given neighborhood in the city.
  5. your screen saver is Maria Sharapova, Jessica Alba, or… well, you have the idea.

Feel free to add to the list. I have to go name my laptop…

You proudly sport a t-shirt that says…

GEEK > NERD

There are 10 types of people in this world;
Those that understand binary, and those that don’t.

Your chainsaw is worth more than your truck.

OOPS, wrong list.

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1

What part of
1 + 1 = 10
Don’t you understand?

I am a geek, but I am female, and only one of those applied to me…the naming your computer cute names. Well, ok, Raven isn’t really *cute*., but I did name it. Actually I am a health freak, work out every day, and try really hard to balance the physical with my mental world. I have been into computers since the first version of Windows came out, and all we had were BBS’s. All the way back then I dreamed of some day being a hacker. I am no where near my dream space of hacking capacities, but I am working on it!

What Do You Think?
