Are you a geek?

I am a geek. A technology geek. I find gadgets interesting. I love reading blogs about upcoming gadgets including mobiles, weather stations, cars, computers and software. I write some code (small web projects) and I tend to think too big. Why use a flat-file when you can utilize a database. Why use an html-file when you can use a server scripted page? A part of this is to keep my self-updated so that my skills are “up-to-date” – but it is also a way to keep the willingness to learn.

So are you a geek? And what do you think if people call you a geek?

For me being called a geek is not a bad thing. In some places being called an IBMer is a synonym for geek. And I am proud of being an IBMer. This may sound brained washed but I think I work for the best company in the world. And my proof is that I have been offered positions in other companies and have never found the position more interesting than my current one at IBM. And one of the best parts working for IBM is all the possibilities and all the great people.
