Heidi says this frequently: she had no idea how much of a nerd I was before we were married. Heck, I didn't even know. Now I can't listen to other people talk about Androids, iPhones, tablets of any OS or brand, Windows Phone 7, Nokia, Windows 8, the next iteration of the Mac OS, etc. for more than 10 seconds without needing to correct them.... I know way too much of the newest (and not yet announced) gadgetry out there. I follow three tech blogs (Engadget, Gizmodo, Beta News) and do my own research on the side, and I'm somewhat obsessed.
That said, my wife is incredibly patient with me. Whenever I randomly spurt: "Hey Heidi, guess what??" or something to that affect, Heidi always takes a moment to pause and ask if whatever is about to follow actually matters or if its some new gadget thing.
And admist all of my fascination with gagets, I consider myself a strong Google-fan. I switched from the iPhone to an Android two years ago (I'm on Sprint's Evo) and I could never go back. While I consider the iPad quite nifty, I'm excited to see more Android Honeycomb tablets hitting the market this summer. I was one of those that had to wait for an invite to join gmail, and I've never looked back.
Oh, and I should say: I flip out when webpages are incompatible with Chrome. I can't stand using Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox. I love Chrome. And now I have a ChromeOS notebook. It's a great nerdy-life!
To honor my geekdom, Heidi gave me a very special present for Easter... :)
They're finger sweat-bands!!!!!!!
Instructions:
Admittedly, I don't actually use the sweatbands... But they are hanging next to my desk at work to remind me to work out those finger muscles! You can order your own here (they're free!)
Yup. Crazy. Maybe you need a vacation :)
