7 Signs You are a Geek

GBTV # 507 7 Signs You Are A Geek Episode 507 of Geek Beat is brought to you by Domain.com! How Geeky Are You? I'm John P Seven Sure Fire Signs of Your Geekiness NOW on GeekBeat TV! If you are a regular GeekBeat viewer, it's a given that you are in fact a Geek. But just how geeky are you? Take the GeekBeat Challenge if You DARE! Geek Quotient Level One You MIGHT be a geek IF you own a Kenwood TT756SL Two Slice Toaster Radio with built in Radio. But only a beginner geek could appreciate paying $150 for a mash up that places a $100 dollar premium above buying, say a STAND ALONE toaster and an FM radio. A TRUE geek however, WOULD opt for a combo toaster slash MP3 player, or a toaster with an iPhone dock. You are PROBABLY a level one geek if you've used a power tool in your kitchen. Cordless drills are the most often used power tool in a Level 1 geek's kitchen. You'll know you are ready for the next level when you whip out the plasma torch. You are DEFINITELY a level one geek if you've velcro'ed your iPad or Android tablet to your stove... your wall, bedroom ceiling, and window. Bonus points if you've velcro'ed a WINDOWS tablet to your WINDOW! Now Geek Quotient Level Two You MIGHT be a Level 2 geek IF you torment your fellow office workers with usb powered missiles fired from your cubicle. Bonus points if you've done this and actually kept your job! You are PROBABLY a Level 2 geek IF you've outfitted your computer with a usb powered Star Trek communicator. Bonus points if you've done this and actually scored an office date. You are DEFINITELY a Level 2 geek IF you have a Popinator in your office. The Popinator triangulates on your voice when you say the world POP and fires popcorn into your mouth! It's demo video has become a viral hit but there's just one problem While the Popinator DOES fire popcorn into the air the voice activated targeting system does not exist; it's part real machine, part viral video hoax. BUT there's now so much demand for an actual Popinator there's talk of developing one of these for real. So You are DEFINITELY a geek if you design a working Popinator and have one in your office. PS If you do, you MUST give us a call we'd like to use it to launch Popcorn SHRIMP at the Geekbeat Christmas Party. Before moving on to the next level, might I just stop for a moment and say how very Geeky you look today if you happened to just register a new .COM domain with Domain.Com using our super Geeky coupon code CALI? That's because real geeks know that a dot COM is a +9000 when it comes time to sell your brilliant idea for a billion BitCoins. So if you're going to register a new domain, Domain.com is the obvious choice because they're affordable, reliable, and easy to use. Plus, they've got great customer support and even respond on twitter at domain dot com! Coupon code CALI will get you 20 percent off for a limited time. So have at it Geeks! And FINALLY Geek Quotient Level THREE You MIGHT be a level Three Geek IF you have buy black socks from a german website called Black Socks DOT Com Unlike the Popinator BlackSocks.Com is not a joke If black socks were good enough for Steve Jobs to wear every day, who am I to argue? You are PROBABLY a Level Three Geek IF you have a Sockscription to BlackSocks.Com Every three months, Dieter or Wolfgang, or whatever is name is at the german sock maker will ship you three pair of award winning black socks . They recommend knee length, which we are guessing best go with bermuda shorts. Bonus points if you use their app to measure the blackness' level of each sock to correctly match it with its mate. Finally You are DEFINITELY a Level Three Geek if you order the RFID equipped Smart Socks from BlackSocks.Com Not only can NFC equipped devices match mismatched pairs or find lost socks owners of non NFC iPhones can use BlackSocks.Com proprietary dedicated NFC device, in combination with their iPhone and Wi Fi to track and match their black socks, as well as maintain an online history of all of your black socks AND combine them with a Sockscription to automatically replenish your black Smart Socks inventory! Dieter, Wolfgang and sock geeks around the world, I salute you! And I want to stay far, far away from you On a completely unrelated, yet slightly related, topic are you going to the PhotoPlus conference in New York at the end of October? Let me know if you're going to be there, I'd love to meet you! We'll be teaming up with our friend Jared from FroKnowsPhoto.com and live streaming from the show floor!
