You know you're a hopeless geek when:

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 03:19:37 GMT

I am so guilty of Nos. 4 & 10:

You can't concentrate on anything while waiting for the gadget delivery person.
You get your box cutter out first thing on delivery day just so it's ready when the gadget arrives.
You stop in your tracks every few minutes every time you hear a truck drive down the street.
You feel your heart drop every single time a FedEx truck drives past without stopping.
You plug in all the peripherals for the new gadget before it even arrives.
You go over everything you need to build your new system multiple times while waiting for it.
You make a list for everything you need to install on the new system and the order you need to do so.
You rearrange every plug in the power strip just to make sure there is room for one more.
You greet the UPS man brusquely because he's not the FedEx guy.
You keep checking the delivery status online every 15 minutes just to make sure it hasn't changed.

Rate the SuperBowl ads this Sunday using Twitter

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:24:00 GMT

Are you a superbowl ad critic? Of course you are, everyone is. Even if you don’t watch the superbowl, those pervasive ads will end up in YouTube, Digg, and your cousins blog and your best friends Facebook profile. Tired of others choosing which one was the funniest/stupidist/biggest waste of time? Well this year, you can rate your own superbowl ads using Twitter, and see what everyone else in Twitter thinks too.

There’s just three steps:

1) Sign up: Get a twitter account, got that? Good.
2) Send your vote to @superbowlads: When we’re watching the game in real time, simply send a reply to superbowlads. Jeremiah Owyang created this Twitter account just for this virtual event. Reply to the superbowlads account, name the commerical, and give it a rating of 1-5 stars, 5 being the best.
examples:

“@superbowlads That Pepsi commercial was funny 4 stars”
“@superbowlads The Hillary Clinton advertisement was bunko 2 stars”
“@superbowlads Bud-wise-er, that was so 10 years ago, weak. 1 star”

3) See what others rated: You can then see everyone who’s rated the ads by doing a search on any of the Twitter search tools - see this example, it’s showing all the people who have replied to superbowlads.

Irony

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 23:53:00 GMT

Last spring, I bought a Mio c310x GPS at Fry's and I've gotten a lot use out of it. It really saved my butt on a last-minute trip to North Carolina in April. So, tonight, I'm packing, getting ready for ReMIX07 in Boston, and I can't find the GPS!

You spent how much time doing what?!?

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 13:47:00 GMT

Being a state government employee, with my email address out there on at least 3 state web sites that I know of, I know this has got to be true.

Guy Kawasaki recently took a tour of Trek - his post has some great pictures. I bought a Trek Pilot 1.0 a couple of months ago - it's pretty cool to see where it was born.

You might be an MVP if ...

Kathleen Anderson — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 22:40:00 GMT

Sean O'Driscoll, the General Manager of the Microsoft MVP Program, has published the list of 'secret criteria' used to determine whether someone is MVP material. I have to say that a large number of them apply to me - I'm not going to say which ones.

The only way to eat Peeps

I thought I was the only one who did this, except my dad of course, because he taught me.

Why do I have a kitchen anyway?

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 16:58:00 GMT

This about says it all - my mom and I were out shopping - she saw it first - I just had to have it!

Dirty Bird

Kathleen Anderson — Sun, 21 Nov 2004 20:32:00 GMT

I just had to pass this on ...

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued,

"May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! To all who celebrate the holiday.

"How much is inside?"

Kathleen Anderson — Thu, 17 Jun 2004 02:47:00 GMT

I did a Google search for "whipped cream" (don't ask why) and saw a link for Reddi Whip, and I ended up at this site "How much is inside?" If you ever wanted to know how much whipped cream is in a can of Reddi Whip, or how much is inside a pumpkin, or how much toothpaste is there in a tube, this is the site for you.

I do believe some people do have way too much time on their hands!
