Geeks and Nerds only

once when i was a teen and having a binge alone at home (pretty common) I managed to figure out how to use my uncles reel-to-reel and recorded 2 hours of drunken babbling then promptly forgot about it. then one horrid afternoon I came home to find him and some friends listening to it laughing their asses off! I could have died of embarrassment! aaaaaaaarrrrghh!

Nexus One is going to be the huge game changer.

Do all other geeks & nerds listen weekly to Kim Komando on the radio? She is the digital goddess.
