Adam- Thanks! I used to own a cake decorating business. I'm really more of a Martha Stewart type than the girl geek personality. One of my best friends is a girl geek and I drive her crazy with all my non-geek habits. :D
Geeks make good fathers? Why not lawyers too? Come on, one's job or sub-culture doesn' t make one a good parent. Trying to be a good parent, taking good care of your kids and loving them for themselves (as opposed to what you want them to be) is what makes a good parent.
LMFAO ok this one made me laugh so hard:5. VOCABULARY. Let me call this the Dictionary Effect. He can't use normal words that the rest of us use. He says he's going to ping somebody. In my mind that means he's going to throw things at them while they sit at the lunch table. For some freakish reason that means he's going to contact them. He thinks he's a freakin' computer because sometimes he has to "let processes run in the background" for the rest of us, that means, let me try and recall......He queues up the dishwasher. For you and me, that's the time delay button while I get in the shower. I just don't even want to tell you how he uses and abuses vocabulary. If he meets someone he doesn't like, they "have a bad UI." To you and me, they were an obnoxious jackass with Asperger's.haha i love my geek boyfriend and this kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all :) i mean, he's how i got onto digg in the first place!
No digg... this is really poor.the only thing as i can see of worth in this conclusion of a stereotypical geek is that they can snare there children's privacy on the Internet. (this can be a good thing to keep your 14yr old daughter from signing up for myspace.crap)This article really kinda put me off too.. why does she refer to him as 10? a child? and so forth.A blog to keep him humble?sounds like someone needs a vacation .. her husband.
Jealous? We get them more than once and the bad boy gets it once? Just because the geek is smarter than the bad boy doesnt mean we dont get sweet pieces of a$$.
No the stuff doesn't break cause we know how to use it. So why would i have to lift something heavy if there is no reason. Hell if i do have to lift something heavy i will make something to lift it for me or go get some friends to help.
Surprisingly we are starting to be accepted by the general public.I noticed that people seem to respect you when you show them how to do something in a respectful way.Its the Geeks who push their L33T HAXX0R5 SK1LL5 on everyone who make a bad name for us...;)
