It, glows..... :eek:

It's sooo

pretty....


I want to tuch it....

Yeah I wish they made aqua candy bars!

Could you IMAGINE what a life-sized aqua bubble would look like?!!?!?!? (drool)

It would look like those soft snow-globes you can pick up at airports.

- I am on the internet pretty much from the time I get home from school to the time I go to bed.... I take a few breaks occasionally

- I am on ChiefDelphi for hours everyday... and I just learned about it 3 weeks ago

- I have a record player and 8 records(i need more!).... I'm 15 and obsessed with oldies

- I could listen to most Motown songs and tell you what group sang it

- I know what Motown is... and it's my favorite type of music

- I only listen to oldies stations

- I have 100's of MP3's with almost all of them being oldies

- I just posted 5 ways on how I am a geek because I'm obsessed with oldies... wait now 6

- I unintentionally correct spelling and grammar

- I use spell check to make sure that I spell words correctly when I post messages

- I go to bed at 11 or later and get up at 4 every weekday.... of course I get up at 10 or 11 on weekends

- I confuse myself easily

- I don't totally find these things geeky but I know I'm a geek

- :confused: I'm confused by that last statement I made ^

- I made a complete list of all the words from The Word Association thread

i have 10 FIRST signs hanging in my room

i got dean kamen's autograph 3 times

i got woodie's autograph once

i have got Dave Lavery's autograph at the Buckeye regional last year.

i have the most posts on Chief Delphi.

i maxed out my AOL buddy list

i TP the houses of kids on other FIRST teams

i almost wet myself when we got our new mill

i dream about robotics meetings

my friends call me a geek

i watch people sign on and off in my buddy list instead of doing homework

i got an A+ on my midterm portfolio for my composition class. this paper was the longest i had ever written and it was about us winning the 2001 motorola midwest regional.

i wear a TechnoKats polo shirt to work and i think it's cool

i am trying to plan how im going to steel, err borrow, the Highway 234 sign in Indiana.

my passwords are numbers of other FIRST teams

my best friends are on a team

i visit former students on other FIRST teams

when i visit family in kokomo i always wear my technokats shirt with the hopes of someone on the team seeing me. :(

my team asks me first about any rumors or good stuff happening on chiefdelphi



that's about it for now...

My sister just gave me directions in ASCII art over AIM

I use AIM whether the person is across the country, or within socking distance.

-I had sensory overload at the Nats, and liked it.

-I like dancing bannanas.

-I act like Stitch

-I have 820 posts on CD

-Nintendo is god (IMHO)

-I listen to kids and wonder how they can live without being on the internet 24/7 nor not caring about the new P4 chipset.

-If a wood chuck could chuck wood, he would do it with an Innovations FIRST reciever.

-I wonder if a Segway can do through an inversion...

-I want to be in the hotseat, again

Also a geek
 

I know why a curve ball actually curves

I saw every Brady Bunch episode at least 3 times

The crap that the professor could make out of a coconut on Gilligan's Island didn't fool me.

I can name the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd receivers for each NFL team (Fantasy Football geek).

While I know the torque-speed curves for all of the FIRST motors, I also have been known to forget to bring my wallet to Florida.

I am sometimes disappointed when 5:00 rolls around and I gotta stop running my CAD station.

My wife and kids have gone away for a Saturday and I go into work and design FIRST robots.

During the FIRST season, I cannot sleep at night until we get our team's design done.

While playing Sim City on my home computer, I often grasp in air... trying to locate my Spaceball... then I realize that I only use my Spaceball while on CAD at work.

I refuse to pay anyone to work on anything at my house. Even if I have no experience with some piece of equipment, I can usually fix it.... it may take me a while, but it will get fixed.

I calculated the best way to mow my 3+1/2-acre yard... I start in a circle in the middle of my yard and I can drive continually without slowing down for 45 minutes.

The fact that I have been posting in these forums since they opened before the 1999 season. Go ahead... check the archives... I know you're jealous. :)

My list of FIRST contacts is almost to 1,000 people.

Other TechnoKats often make fun of me for how geeky I am with FIRST team numbers, the teams, and what their robots can do.

I many not know how to configure my BIOS on my computer, but I am still a geek.

Andy B.

Although most of mine have been said, I'd like to add 2 more to the list.

1. I learned some Linear B and Egyptian hieroglyphs: not only the symbols, but the languages behind them too (Ancient Greek and Ancient Coptic respectively).

2. While my online banking uses 1024 bit RSA encryption, I use 3072 bit DH/DSS encryption. I have encrypted "hello" below in my public key (If anybody can derive my private key from that I'll give them a nickel :)).
