One of the great
mysteries of the universe
to my non-
geek
friends is what geeks like myself do for
fun
. How can you be entertained on a
Friday night
if you're not at the
football
game mindlessly floating through the various
social groups
? These people mean well. They have a genuine
curiosity
about the geek lifestyle. What can we tell such people who have no appreciation of
late night debugging
or
recursive
algorithm analysis
?
To answer this
question
I began using the
generic
'geeking out' response. My repeated use of this phrase caused me to consider just what I consider geeking out to be.
As a computer variety geek, geeking out most specifically
#include
s (
haha
):
1. Coding
2. Debugging
3. Doing CS homework
4. Debating programming language theory (
Java
vs.
C++
and the like)
5. Installing
linux
on
bitchy
hardware
6. Watching
Pi
7. Sitting in
discrete math
class
I'm sure there are more examples of geeking out, but off the top of my head these are some
examples
of things which make me feel especially
geeky
. What do
you
do to geek out?
