    Calvino Rabeni: What are some defining characteristics of geek-hood?

    Alfred Kelberry: glasses :P

    Wol Euler: infinite curiosity

    Alfred Kelberry: tada!

    Alfred Kelberry: wol is sophisticated, as usual :)

    Tarmel Udimo: yes

    Wol Euler: hehehehe

    Tarmel Udimo: BRB

    Alfred Kelberry: must be another characteristics :)

    Calvino Rabeni: A kind of do-it-yourself attitude

    Alfred Kelberry: why are you talking about geeks?

    Calvino Rabeni: Geeks are also very self-referential :)

    Wol Euler: mmhmm

    Wol Euler: yes, very much so.

    Wol Euler: and an oddity: we hate to do dull and repetitive work if we can see no point in it

    Calvino Rabeni: Got better things to do, we think

    Wol Euler: but will be happy to sit for two hours doing the same thing over and over in order to understand something

    Calvino Rabeni: Yes, not dull and repetitive to *us*

    Calvino Rabeni: Capable of obsessive behavior

    Wol Euler: mmhmm, learning is good, and what you do to learn is treated as good.

    Calvino Rabeni: will never stop learning

    Calvino Rabeni: caffeine is the drug of choice

    Wol Euler: yep!

    Alfred Kelberry: also, someone who'd read about power grids in bed before sleep :)

    Calvino Rabeni: :) :)

    Wol Euler: no drugs, seldom alcohol

    Wol Euler: and yes, alf, that too

    Alfred Kelberry giggles

    Wol Euler: we are curious about *everything*, we will read *anything*

    Calvino Rabeni: Yes

    Calvino Rabeni: Even likes steve martin

    Alfred Kelberry: quite fascinating all those transformers and volts

    Calvino Rabeni: Maybe male vs female differences as children

    Wol Euler nods

    Wol Euler: tinkering :)

    Alfred Kelberry: wol, em.. i don't like to read about medical stuff, biology and chemistry on low level

    Calvino Rabeni: Not if it is about something contagious

    Wol Euler: heheheh

    Wol Euler: another characteristic: squeamish

    Calvino Rabeni: Possible hypochondriasis

    Calvino Rabeni: and knows words like that

    Wol Euler: *collects* words like that

    Calvino Rabeni: Probably above-average vocabularies
