[AccessD] Friday OT: 10 ways to indicate you are a geek

Yes.

As an example of such an obsession, given two opportunities:

(1). Dating with a girl-/boy-friend;
(2). Investigating applications of Fibonacci Numbers
(http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FibonacciNumber.html) using computer
programming,

real geek will certainly select the second option, neglecting the first one
allowing them to (often subconsciously) investigate, practice, perceive,
feel, admire, ... the harmony of Fibonacci numbers' applications in real
life :)

That's cool, David.

But I must say that this and the earlier examples do not really hit on what 
I usually understand "geek" to mean.

I normally think of an obsession with technology, which does not necessarily

equate with having a mathematical mind.

Anyway, the key question is...  Is your pastime more or less dangerous than 
texting while driving?

Regards
Steve
