Geek noir

I started to write a new geek entry but got way carried away.

Embracing my inner geek

OK, I tried to hide it, but I can't keep living this lie. It's not that I haven't done anything for the past couple of months. It's that I didn't do anything I wanted to write about in this blog.

I've been working on terrible, geeky things. Like converting my entire CD collection to Ogg Vorbis files so I can listen to music from any room in my house or in the back yard. And planning how I'm going to do the same with my vinyl record collection... and my cassettes... oh, and what about my DVDs or the videos of our kids growing up? Almost forgot about those.

Anyway, I wanted to write about my geeky stuff. So I've started to. Right here.
