I’m here at work late trying to catch up with work that pilled up while on vacation, and so this may not be as funny tomorrow… but it is right now. Found this in a Slashdot article about “What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs?” in the comments. Naturally many people mentioned how they have become the IT support for their families, when I ran across this thread:

I didn’t know grandmothers required electricity.

This is obviously an early example of nanatechnology.

Oy… I need to go home.

“Come on man… everybody’s doin’ it…”

Just figured I’d post about my conformance to more geek customs. I’ve been using bloglines for quite a while now, and have been loving it. I save time in not checking my normal sites every day to see no new content, but now loose time in that I have added another 50+ sites to my Bloglines list. The only reason it’s only 50+ is that I’m trying to be semi-conservative. I’m sure I could add hundreds but I would have no life other then checking things on it.

I absolutely love being able to get information so easliy. I get to sound so much more intelligent (then I actually am) when I am always talking about what I read the other day on dozens of subjects.

Just a week or so ago I decided to hop on to the del.icio.us bandwagon. It’s so much easier to post things there then to always be sending out links to friends about the latest cool site I ran into. So my delicious list slowly begins to grow as I go back to old posts to get them added.

Anyway… two cool geek things that I’m participating in that I wanted to make sure the 4 people that check my site once a month know about.
