Clues that You Might be a Geek

2 -- The word "blog" doesn't sound stupid to you anymore.

3 -- You still don't understand why anyone would name a pharmacy after a version control system.

4 -- You plan to give all your children names which are expressible in hex.

5 -- You think the nominees for best actress this year should be Trinity, Mystique, Arwen, and T-X.

6 -- You know at least one person whose computer has less RAM than your video card.

7 -- This holiday season, instead of emailing your greeting cards, you're planning to just publish an RSS feed.

And last but not least…
