Geek Behaviour

26 November 2007 | 2 Comments

ComputerStumbled over this great post about nerd behaviour in my feed reader the other day and it instantly resonated with me…

A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

And that’s just the opening lines…if you get that, then you are a nerd. Or rather a ‘geek’ which is the preferred venacular these days. I’ve never worried about the semantics myself.

I don’t completely relate to everything said so maybe I’m not a true geek, but there’s definitely a few choice observations in there, enough that I felt compelled to bookmark it for Jennifer.

Now, our 7 year anniversary is coming up in a few days so there’s a project!
