What makes you say "Yeah, I'm a geek"
« on: Tue, 19 May 2015, 20:02:48 »
Had to run out to get a longer usb cable for my Pure Pro and pulling out of the parking lot the dj announces the next song.  "Gooey" by the Glass Animals.

What flashed in my mind wasn't gooey but gui. Yeah, I'm a geek.

I work for the USPS and travel between the office and DMUs. At one of the DMUs, there's a machine with a Cherry GH80-11900 attached and I've been coveting it since the first day I saw it.  Hopefully when they phase the machine out I'll be allowed to have the Cherry.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

nothing.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Self Realization..particularly, I realized the following things recently:

  • Posted custom keycap photos to my facebook
  • Talked about Snapchat security at a party to non-geeks
  • The amount of time I spend each day looking at keyboard or other hobbies

Had to run out to get a longer usb cable for my Pure Pro and pulling out of the parking lot the dj announces the next song.  "Gooey" by the Glass Animals.

What flashed in my mind wasn't gooey but gui. Yeah, I'm a geek.

I am a big fan of glass animals. My number one work music.

Just realized my post count.

I'm wondering if there are any other milestones that trigger text display instead of a number.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
