. . . plus!
I've discovered the joys of Stumble. It is the best thing since the wheel, and I'm not kidding. The basic idea is that when a user comes upon a cool idea, they tag it. When you use Stumble, you select the general categories you like, then when you hit the button (it installs a toolbar; I use the Firefox plugin) it takes you to a random cool site. I've found sites such as this, this, this, and this. There are not quite countless others.
Now for the cats:
In the mean time, consider this page. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a geek, but there are certain things I must correct. Even if they only apply to me:
- I don't care much about Star Trek. I think it's cool and all, but I don't follow every episode, nor am I emotionally attached to the characters. I must also add that I find the inclusion of Babylon 5 in this category almost offensive. It is a far superior series. I have all of them on DVD, if anyone is interested.
Geeks aren't into cooking for themselves? I beg to differ. There's little I love more than to have a friend or half-dozen over for an amazing meal. I'm not too terribly shy about proclaiming myself a pretty damn good cook, and I love to have people over to share. I'll allow the comments to speak for themselves (if I've ever needed you, Dancer, now is the time!)
I must admit that I do take my work home with me, but in my case, that will be the law. I love it, and it has become part of me. Deal with it.
Re: Real Life Friends: you will not be setting any of them up with any of your friends unless your friends are men. Even then, most of my friends (men or women) are already involved. You won't find a treasure trove of geeks by going through me.
Geeks aren't necessarily all about computers. They can be about any kind of arcane sub-specialty. In my case, I'm a bit of a LawGeek (though I must admit to certain ComputerGeek tendencies). Be cognizant of your geeks orientation.
I've just finished my last exam am now fully halfway through with law school. I'm basking. I'll probably reflect on this more as it really hits me. I'm heading to New Orleans tomorrow for the break. Fun!
