I have a friend who only recently got email. He doesn’t own a computer, but checks his email at his gym, where they have terminals for free internet access. He sent me an email last night that was ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I called him to tell him that, according to email protocol, this was taken to mean that he was YELLING. His response? “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. You really are a big geek.”
Yes, I guess I am. And I fully embrace my geekiness.
Speaking of geeks, there’s a certain geek out there in Seattle who was very upset that he was not yet mentioned in my blog. So — here’s a BIG SHOUT OUT to you, Geek!

And a shout out to Joy!!! So far, my shout-outs have been limited to folks I know personally, but no need for protocol here.
