I’ve been geeking out lately. Watching Big Bang Theory while listening to Jonathan Coulton and reading Wil Wheaton‘s Just A Geek.

I think part of it is that I miss living in Silicon Valley. I miss being a geek among geeks. Going to The Tech Museum, being among fellow geeks when watching Star Trek or any other science fiction movies. I miss the cons, whether it is Comic-Con or JavaOne or SDWest. Or spending a day at a local Fry’s. It’s very comforting.

Although I don’t really miss the work hours and the uncertainty of working in the US, I do miss working for an engineering company (even though I don’t feel like IT is being second-class citizen at my current company). Granted, having Norwegian vacation time means I could pop into Silicon Valley at least once a year. Still, I miss it.

Probably need to get out more.
