Geeks Anonymous

Hello my name is Milo and I'm a geek!

There, I've said it...it's in the open and I'm free to express my 'geekness' in all its four-eyed, pencils-in-pocket, lab coat wearing glory!

Actually, I'm not a proper geek, not in my eyes anyway.
I'm sure compared to your average Joe Bloggs (sorry to use you as an example again Joe, it must really piss you off that you are Mr Average) I'm probably a complete geek. But as soon as I start looking into anything technical in detail I realise that I am merely brushing the surface of geekdom.
Of course, to my friends and family I am simply Mr Geek - who is called constantly with questions of "why did my computer do this?" etc. etc. However, what they don't realise is that my real talent lies in knowing what to type into Google and analysing the results very quickly!

I also read a lot of technology news sites so when people ask about a new technology I appear to have already owned it, stripped it down to core components and rebuilt it even better than the manufacturer did in the first place...but then I'm only a pretend geek really. As soon as I meet a real one in person I'm shown up as a fake!
Of course this very rarely happens because veryone knows that geeks never go out! ;)

The picture below is a perfect example of that! (It's not me by the way...my underwear is never that clean)
