Will I be a Geek Dad? 20 reasons Jen thinks I might be…
Jun 22nd
Adapted from Kathy Ceceri (http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/06/top-10-ways-you-know-you%E2%80%99re-married-to-a-geekdad/)
1. I think that maintaining the computers, game systems and home network is just as important, if not MORE important than doing dishes or cleaning the bathrooms.
2. She never knows when she’ll walk into the dining room to find the table covered with a computer broken down into all its component parts.
3. I’m a packrat, keeping every spare cable, screw and or slightly damaged electronic part for a future project.
4. I am thinking of removing the TV, cancelling Sky, and replacing everything with a large screen computer because all the good shows can be streamed on the Internet.
5. I spend a lot of time maintaining my personal blog(s).
6. I have considered installing stilts under the legs of our bed so my comic book boxes can fit underneath.
7. Our kid’s college fund consists of boxes of first issues of my favourite comic books.
8. I would like to sit down with the kid and read through the first issues (when he or she is old enough to treat them with respect), college fund be damned. (Well, maybe not Preacher #1.)
9. Every computer in the house has its chassis half open…and is still running.
10. I may pause any movie at any time to make sure that the colour temperature and brightness are set just right.
11. I think nothing of having the laptop on the dining room table to share funny stories and pictures I’ve found with the family.
12. Our house is colourful, and not because of paint, but because of toys, models, and my collection of videos and comics.
13. I have dissected a new appliance just to see how it works…
14. At times I have debated the relativity of fictional characters and or logical outcomes to movies and television shows.
15. A Periodic Table placemat for our child would be neat (and instructional!).
16. I am more than happy to attempt explanations of obscure scientific answers to “why?” questions.
17. It pains me to limit the kid’s computer time.
18. She’s not sure if the new Lego sets are really for the kids or for me.
19. I want to build my own robot.
20. I spend lots of time “helping” the kid play videogames.
