I’m geeky because…

  • I recently found “Fringe” on Netflix and watched all episodes and found myself depressed when it was done.
  • I’ve spent so much time during my life pondering why I’m geeky.
  • As an english major I’m discovering interest in math & tech
  • I enjoyed yesterday’s session and sharing with friends/family about the experience. Also – I get pure joy from my funny cat Jack
  • I spent 2 hours talking my husband’s ear off last night about all the interesting topics we discussed companies and people I met, and cool technologies I learned about.
  • I like to use technology to make life easier and to find shortcuts.
  • I was voted Girl Most Likely to Merge with her Computer by by senior class in high school
  • I love fiddly electronics and hardware bits, sci fi, fantasy, many sorts of gaming
  • I self declared as weird in 9th grade
  • Technology surprises me, delights me, and will one day save my life and possibly the planet
  • I love solving technical problems
  • I learned to program in 1966
  • I grew up with 4 very geeky brothers – there wasn’t room for a non-geeky girl
  • I enjoy: math, learning, composting demos
  • I feel the need to very thoroughly explore the incredible world around me. (And I satisfy that need as much as possible!)
  • I get a little too excited about metadata.
  • I love solving problems
  • I like numbers and science fiction and making things work and finding weird connections between diverse stuff.
  • Physics background
  • Everything is interesting
  • I like to know how things work
  • Puzzles are fun, be they math/programming problems or actual puzzles.
  • Favorite hobby: music
  • I love to learn new things while blogging.
  • Unexpectedly, I have had an amazing career in technology (I was a Humanities student!)
  • I hang around to get photos with the scientists and researchers at National Geographic
  • I like to make things go (creating, building, debugging, using) and like all the future-thinking in F & SF
  • Learning is my favorite pastime
  • I like living an evidence-based life.
  • I started programming on a PDP11 in 1977. Acoustic coupler modem from a Decluriter to a machine 60 miles away
  • I like to know how everything works and how to make things do what I want them to.
  • I was born to be. Dad is a geek and as the oldest, I was the first to bond with Dad over things like Star Trek and math problems.
