This morning as I walked into the gym for a quick workout, I noticed an attractive young lady in a short skirt and high heels bent over in front of her laptop. I looked over at her and said to myself:
"Nice laptop."
Man, I'm such a geek.

What kind of laptop was it?

Yvonne, it was one of the newer Dell widescreen models. Now I feel even more like a geek.

That's funny!
Btw, recently Shaded asked what makes a geek - a geek? http://spaces.msn.com/members/shaded/Blog/cns!1pcUVdsqGjzbPov5sh3Flrdw!218.entry
I told him that 'Technolust' is what makes a geek. [MSN Spaces has a geek who coded Comment field validation. You can enter at the max. 1024 characters! http://jdk.phpkid.org/index.php?p=1160 :)]

You know what the sad thing is? That you didn't even think about the attractive girl as soon as that laptop came into view...
A classic geek. Glad to be one too :)

What? No Pictures? I cant imagine you not wipping out your camera phone to take a picture of the laptop ( and possibly girl) for memory sake and to further express the level of geek-ness :)

All is not lost, at the very least, you noticed it was an attractive young lady in a short skirt and high heels.

Simeon, I guess I'm less of a geek than I thought, since I never take my camera phone into the gym :)

Hmmm... I have a Dell Widescreen 9100. Maybe you'll run into her again and get her number for me :)

Classy act nick :p, but the gym? has your opp that u had totally cleared up now?
Posted by: Colin Harman | Tuesday, February 01, 2005 at 07:02 PM
Nick, I had a great paycheck a few months ago, and what did I lust after? A 1GB SanDisk flashdisk. I just felt that I couldn't live without it a minute more.

Ummm... does your wife read this blog?

A true geek wouldn't be in a gym to start with. :)
Unless of course it's to upgrade their pcs...

It's okay, TownDrunk - my wife knows I'm lusting after a new laptop :)

Did you take the chance to sell her a copy of FeedDemon?
Posted by: Henning | Wednesday, February 02, 2005 at 10:00 AM
Colin, yes - I'm doing fine now, thanks. I took it *very* easy for a while after my neck surgery, but now I'm back to running ~15mi a week and doing twice-a-week workouts.
Posted by: Nick Bradbury | Wednesday, February 02, 2005 at 11:26 AM
I have a Dell wideaspect laptop with a HD screen (1920x1200) and OMG is it sexy so I can totally understand why you liked it :)
Posted by: Morgan Pugh | Wednesday, February 02, 2005 at 05:29 PM
Hey, I'm a geek too... I still think you're nuts! :)
