10 ways to know your geek loves you

I've seen lists of the top 10 reasons to date a geek (and the top 10 reasons to not date a geek) on the web, and I wanted to do my own list. Been working on it for a couple weeks, but saved it for today.
So I bring you...

The Top Ten Ways to Know Your Geek Loves You

#10 He gives you useful electronic gifts, not something that would die like flowers
#9 He burns you CDs of music you might like
#8 When it's time to get a new printer, he gets the one with a scanner and photo printing, because that's the one you like
#7 He gets you an MP3 player for work, so he can burn you MP3s you might like
#6 The first time he blogged he loved you, you knew he was the one
#5 He signs up for Audible to get you a free Shuffle (along with the great books!)
#4 He chooses video games that are two player, so you can play together
#3 He talks 'geek speek' with your dad
#2 He will, occasionally, watch a movie he knows will suck, just because you want to watch it


And the Number One Way to Know Your Geek Loves You

Two Words:
Shared Log-In!

Happy VD everyone, and I love you Bryan.


Update:

Dancin' Feet

Does anyone else have the problem of not being able to stop their feet from dancing the Davy Jones side-shuffle when a certain eBay commercial comes on??
Anyone?

Lost is Found

Well, the missing girl was found. Some suspicious circumstances, certainly, but at least she's ok.

Too Close To Home

Two things today hit me too close to home.
First, the 14-year old girl that is missing lives in the same general area of town as we do, she goes to my son's school, and was last seen close to our neighborhood. The person at the door pointed in the general direction of the 17th Street Russ's from our porch, but didn't actually say where the girl was actually last seen.
And a work-guy-friend found out today he's going to Iraq. He had been nervously waiting the orders for the last couple weeks, he knew it was coming. He'll find out more details tomorrow, but he'll most likely miss his son's high school graduation. This guy is a sweetheart of a guy, family man--we always swap kid stories--and an easy guy to talk to. Same age as me, and was almost close to his military retirement.
These two people, and their families, are in my thoughts tonight.

Spam

One of my e-mail accounts has, unfortunately, become a magnet for spam, and I am deleting a dozen spam e-mails every time I open the inbox.
This morning there were a couple that made me chuckle.
Show Your Love on St. Valentine's Day
Show Monster Power on St. Valentine's Day

Hmm, so does that mean that "your love"="monster power"??
Or does that possible mean that taking your loved one to see Monster Trucks is the ultimate showering of love?
