Well,

Last night I admitted it, i'm a geek.
Well, not the looks, no problem with that ;)

Instead of searching something on the google website I just typed in the google url with the query. :oops:

Other things you do that make you realise something is very wrong?

I thought this was funny. It's a picture of dark matter.

Only vaguely geeky thing I do is subscribe to New Scientist magazine... other than that, I'm quite normal...

I still wear socks that come up to the bottom of my calves when I wear shorts :(

I try not to be a nerd as such while I'm out but it's hard to escape... Even when I go out to the pub or a club I'll often strike up a conversation that somehow leads to a computer based discussion.

I use the server based Request<->Response process when explaining to my kids why they should do what I tell them to...
Client: (Request) Clean your room.
Server: (Response) Call to undefined function 'clean_your_room' on line 1
For some reason though, they just don't get it.

My brain automatically does a component explosion (parts breakdown) for most objects until they become overly familiar. Even then, it does the breakdown every once in a while for the familiar.

Sometimes it drives me nuts. But it is a short drive.

I used to play this game Ragnarok Online, in which the currency is called zeny. More than a few times I said "sorry, I can't go, I don't have enough zeny"

But without the goatee or mustard stains on the shirt (unless it is hotdog night at Costco).

Oh Everah, that was a good one, especially the "Call to undefined function 'clean_your_room' on line 1" part! :lol:

I'd say the geeky thing I do is, when people ask me a no-brainer question, i respond with "It's reaaalll easy man. You just have to point and click"

Honestly, I find myself doing this type of thing too.
