Virtually all of them.
 
When did you first realize you were a geek:

And...I do have a PDA that I incessently play solitaire on. Which makes me realize that I am truly a geek.

You have a time machine that can only be used once. If you use it you will not come back. What date would you set it to, and what ONE thing would you take with you (not a computer):
Any time. Google. Or a Starbucks. If google won't fit in the time machine.

Jason, who's claim to fame is his dry, quiet blog, knows various programming languages...but he doesn't know Linux, so he might not be as hardcore a geek as he thinks he is. Jason, who is the one pictured on the left, has been known to bring a bag lunch and a cooler to his computer room.
