I’m a Geek Not a Nerd

So I’ve not done a lot of technology related posts yet so it might be hard to figure out that I am a technology nut.  I am not really addicted to one thing (maybe the Internet) nor do I have a particular obsession with a gadget.  But to be clear, I am a geek not a nerd.

What’s the difference you say?  Well here is a list of things I am not:

1. I don’t love to tell you how to make a watch when you ask what time it is
2. I am not into mathematics, astronomy or physics
3. I don’t have a pocket protector
4. I don’t wear dark socks with shorts

And here are things about me:

1. I have a personality (debatable maybe)
2. I wear t-shirts under my dress shirts
3. I comb my hair
4. I iron my clothes
5. You can’t lock me in a room with a computer, feed me a pizza once in a while and expect me to be happy

Now I have told people a little too much when they have asked a question about computers.  I try not to make a habit of it and try to watch for the eyes rolling into head syndrome. 

Here are some more things about me being a geek:

1. It’s rare that I am unplugged (cell, laptop, etc)
2. I work on a computer all day and do go home and get on it far too much
3. I like to research things to death before buying
4. I love gadgets but don’t have many
5. My 5 year old knows what I mean when I say “lets Google it”
6. I have at least 10 working computers in the house
7. I have a server
8. I have more than one WiFi access point
9. I use Vonage
10. I know how to make and run my own network cables
