All Things Geeky and Beautiful
This page is about that dark side of me: the nerd, the geek, the dweeb, the
dork...you know. Of course, to really see what kind of nerd I am, well, just
peruse the rest of my pages. Would a normal person waste this much time to
so personalize his little corner of cyberspace? Would a normal person even
use the word cyberspace? Plain and simple, the answer is no. But if you're
a geek like me, plain and simple won't do, so perhaps you'd like to follow a
link to find out the answer.
Perhaps the quintessential haven of geekdom is, of course,
Scott Ruthfield's more-than-infamous
Of course, perhaps the only reason I'm saying that is that I designed the title
bar for his page. As a matter of fact, that picture above was one of my designs,
rejected by the masses (sniff sniff) but still a fave of mine! Perhaps
even you got to these pages by coming in through the GSOTD. Perhaps I
don't care. Hmmm....
Of course, nothing could be geekier than the
Geek Code itself. Wanna see mine?
And of course, there is the on-line
Nerdity Test, on which I scored a 48.2%!!! (You'll notice that's better
than Scott, creator of the geek site of the day, did...who's the real nerd?)
Oh well...I don't want to be competitive...hehehe...
Of course, my crowning achievement of nerdity...well, one of my quintessential
nerd qualities...to wit, amongst those properties I exhibit which
collectively identify me as a nerd...is...
I've memorized 120 digits of pi!!!
And more importantly, to truly drive home the nerdiness of this event, I of
course joined The
100-Club. You can see my name on the roster here.
Here, in all their glory and beauty, are those 120 digits or so...
Do you want to know how I memorized them? (Golly,
you're bored, aren't you?) If
you want to hear me spout them off, then call me. My phone number is the
three-number sequence starting at digit 129,432 in pi, followed by the four
digit sequence starting at digit 1,428,459 in pi. The area code is the
arithmetic mean of these two sequences. (And if you dial this, apologize
very nicely to the person who answers the phone, explaining that you are a true
nerd, nay, a lame-o, and you actually bothered to look all that stuff up)
Back to the Home Page of Immaturity for you!
