I fail at this one, primarily because we don't have AT&T in our area and by the time IPhones got around to Verizon, I was hooked on the Droid.

Yes, and would LOVE to go. Although I would NOT dress as slave Leia due to the sheer number that usually does.

Not really into Firefly because my tv rarely changes from the Investigation Discovery channel (which may be a level of geek-ness all its own) but I do know what a reaver is. Creepy.

You might be a Geek if you snicker quietly when a friend announces proudly they just bought windows 7 and microsoft office!

You might be a Geek if your personal philosophy is,,never pay for anything you can get for free.

And you are definitely a geek if you can simultaneously online play 6 hands of poker at 6 different tables while watching tv, im'ing your sig other, and read the recent TED article on your IPAD, while talking on your cell phone to your mom. :phonegab:

You might be a geek if oyu can type a test message without ever taking your cell out of your pocket to look at the keys.

You might be a geek if you get a video game magazine delivered to your house.

You might be a geek if...
...other people seem to get a gazed look in their eye after talking to you about your job.

You might be a geek if....
...someone says closet to you and you think of switches instead of coats.

You might be a geek if you leave love notes to your honey lamb in binary.

hottprof 09-05-2011 12:28 PM

you might be a geek or maybe a nerd... there is a fine line...

if you truely know what the DSV means for Sea Quest...

when you sat at your college graduation discussing wether or not the security guard was a Borg drone ...

if you wish Captain Kathryn Janeway and Seven hooked up...

if you know what "Ka" is...

ScandalAndy 09-08-2011 10:01 AM

YESSS!!! yes yes yes to all of these, and i DO know what DSV stands for :)

I am so proud of our general geographical area right now. Between you, Dean and myself (am I missing anyone?) we've got quite the mass geekery going on!

...if you spent your honeymoon at Dragon*Con

...if you've attended discussion panels on the physics of the firefly universe as well as how buffy was a 'street level bureaucrat'.

...if you've ever gotten into an argument with Jane Espenson over what exactly Spike meant when he said he was going to "give the bitch what she deserves"

...if you know who Jane Espenson is...

Tawse 09-08-2011 05:27 PM

If you write more fanfiction then essays when classes are in session.
When you have nightmares involving basic.
When you still have games you regularly play... on dos.

Geek vs Nerd
 
Geek:
1. A carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake.
2. A person often of an intelectual bent, who is disliked.
3. An enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity
<computer geek>

Nerd:
An unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person especially
One slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits <computer nerd>
a person who behaves awkwardly around other people and usually has unstylish clothes, hair, etc.


Notice that one can be either a computer "geek" or a computer "nerd"...

I tend to believe I am a geek!

OMG! Ozzy is a geek by the definition of a carnie and biting some animal's head off! I knew I like him for a reason!

You might be a geek if you volunteer to present on heterosexual normative values that encourage homoerotic voyeurism in E.M. Forester's A Room With A View, and are truly excited about it!

From the definitions above - couldn't you be both? Geek has to do with your enthusiasm for a subject matter and Nerd has to due with how you deal with other people...

Geeky Nerds?

Tawse 09-15-2011 11:57 AM

But for me, I really don't think I am socially inept....
Am I??

You might be a geek if you are excitingly happy to have new eye glasses.

At this point you are probably a geek who is talking to me. Glazed eyes but nodding to indicate that I am listening.

Hell I get that glazed look reading this thread.

You might be a geek if you are contemplating buying a blu ray player simply for a certain trilogy. And you think that the newer prequels may be works of the devil.

*Anya* 09-15-2011 06:54 PM

You might be a geek...

~If you know who Robert Kirkman is~

~If you buy your ticket's to Comic Con a year in advance~

~If you know who Tricia Helfer is~

Tawse 09-16-2011 12:29 PM

... you just preordered the Star Wars MMORPG set to go live Dec 31...

dark_crystal 09-26-2011 11:38 AM


Tawse 09-26-2011 11:52 AM

... you do fb status updates directly from the MMORPG you're playing... including screenshots as you ding.

dreadgeek 09-26-2011 12:24 PM

You might be a geek if...::

Your shower curtain is the periodic table of elements.
You count by primes in your head when you're bored.
You celebrate Pi day
You know what "may the mass times acceleration be with you" means.
You own a binary clock
You routinely compile software from source.
You think about replacing annoying coworkers with UNIX shell scripts.
You own a tee-shirt that reads "Go away or I'll replace you with a small shell script"
You try to figure out the largest square root you can do in your head.
The release of a new book by Dawkins, Pinker, Leonard Susskind, or Steven Weinberg is cause for excitement.

Cheers
Aj

SecretAgentMa'am 09-26-2011 12:29 PM

You might be a geek if you read a previous post in the thread and immediately thought "Duh, it's 10 types of people, not 11. 11 in binary is 3, not 2."

;)

You might be a geek if you have October 16th @ 9:00PM on your IPhone calendar with two alerts:

Second season of The Walking Dead starts:)

Oh yeah!

BugsAndKisses 09-26-2011 07:51 PM

Completely freak out when your camera lens coffee mug comes in the mail. Its SOOO life like!

SecretAgentMa'am 09-26-2011 08:30 PM

You might be a geek if you get irrationally upset about a movie called "The Ides of March" being released in October, and not on the actual Ides of March.

Starbuck 09-26-2011 08:38 PM

You might be a geek if you still play video games once in a while ;)

dreadgeek 09-26-2011 09:04 PM

The minute you heard that NASA had made ringtones of various sounds from their archives you went here http://www.nasa.gov/connect/sounds/index.html and downloaded them all. :)
