iPad

I watched Steve Jobs present the iPad today and I had an A-ha moment.  Glued to the screen during the entire hour-long presentation that included guest speakers with titles like Director of Technology and VP of Gaming Technology, I ACTUALLY ooh-d and aah-d like I was watching a 4th of July fireworks show.  And that’s when it hit me: I’m not just a geek-lover, I AM a geek.

The term geek always seemed to me to be reserved for Programmers or “The Squad” at Best Buy, or anyone listed under the Help Desk department.  But these are just folks who enjoy technology, or at least find it interesting, and have the talent to perpetuate its presence in our daily lives.

And guess what?  That’s me!  Despite never having worn a Star Trek costume on Halloween, I have managed to steer my life down a path that is merging with geek highway.  And hell, I like it here.  It’s fast and smooth.  And sexy.
