    I've built my own PCs.
    I have the entire Star Trek TNG series on DVD.
    I have about half a dozen books by Carl Sagan, and I also have Cosmos on DVD.
    I am familiar with the usage and day to day maintenence of round reel drives.
    I think Monty Python is hilarious, and while I'm not quite at the level of reciting scenes word for word I am familiar with most.
    I've beaten Oblivion, but sometimes I'll fire it up just to run around town killing everyone like that one scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
    A previous one was I used to play Everquest and had a level 60 Gnome Cleric.
    I own a laser pointer and a cat.

    So yeah I have a few....

    And you have a cat???? Would it be nerdy to request pics of said feline?

    No one has owned up to speaking Klingon yet. I have a picture of me drinking cocktails with two Ferengi at the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas. Anyone else been to that bar?

    Here he is sitting on my computer desk while I was playing an MMORPG, FFXI.

    Edit: That picture is a couple years old and he's grown a bit since then, and he's a bit too big to be up on the desk while I'm on the PC.

    That has to be the cleanest keyboard I've ever seen sacrificial loon! A sign of a true introverted geek for sure!

    Your kitty is so cute.

    Well to be honest the keyboard was pretty new at the time; it's not quite as shiny now, but it's not all grungy either.

    That is what I thought, but if you look really, really close you will see porn on the monitor :-)
