The Geeks Have Been Guessed!

[Brad Adrian]

It was a little surprising that so few of you could name those handsome devils in the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3484">Guess The Geeks contest</a>. I mean, you'd think that hunks as, well, "hunky" as those would be better known than that. However, the first person who figured it all out is <i><b>John Mierau</b></i>. <br /><br />When we received John's rapid response, we realized we had another Super Geek in the making. So, he has been added to the lineup of "experts" at the <a href="http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/">Pocket PC Magic site</a>. (Keep hitting REFRESH on you browser to cycle through all of the photos).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/superjohn.jpg" /><br /><br />Oh, the correct answers? Here they are:<br /><br />A Phillip Torrone<br />B Andy Sjostrom<br />C Ed Hansberry<br />D Marlof Bregonje<br />E Rob Borek<br />F Brad Adrian<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who participated. And, for the record, I do NOT look like Al Gore!

Thanks to everyone who participated. And, for the record, I do NOT look like Al Gore!

I thought that might be you Brad. So does that mean that neither you nore Al Gore are going to be taking over Brighthand.

I heard that Steve called Gore on his cellphone, and left a message. The connection wasn't very good so the message was a bit garbled.

"Hi Al, this is @%#*% Bush calling. On October first I'm stepping down as %$#@*$ in Chief so I guess the job is yours if you want it." The message goes on to say something like " It's hard being so damn insane" or "It's hard beating Saddam Hussein" We are not sure which.

Anyway rumor has it that Al Gore is going to be the next person with his finger on the delete button :D

Steve if you should read this it's all meant in fun.

Actually, it was kinda easy. You just have to look at the page via View | Source and you would see:
function random_imglink(){
var myimages=new Array()
//specify random images below. You can have as many as you wish
myimages[1]="images/wordsplash.jpg"
myimages[2]="images/imsplash.jpg"
myimages[3]="images/themesplash.gif"
myimages[4]="images/supermar.jpg"
myimages[5]="images/superandy.jpg"
myimages[6]="images/superbrad.jpg"
myimages[7]="images/ppcsplash.jpg"
myimages[8]="images/vidsplash.gif"
myimages[9]="images/modernart.jpg"
myimages[10]="images/phoneartsplash.jpg"
Let's see: Marlof, Andy, Brad.
So you would try to open http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/images/supermar.jpg etc. That way you would find three out of six. Phillip disclosed his pic already in an earlier thread, leaving two to guess.
In the above image list there's no Jason, no Foo, no Arne, no Ed, no Rob etc. But then you try to open
http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/images/superjason.jpg (no pic shows up), http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/images/superfoo.jpg (negative),
(etc.),
http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/images/supered.jpg (bingo),
http://www.pocketpcmagic.comimages/superrob.jpg (bingo) and you would have found all six 'handsome devils'.

Man, Leon, you take all the fun out of it! :D You have demonstrated a unique form of deductive reasoning; if we ever post pictures of Super-Brainiacs, yours will be the very first!

I just won by the skin of my teeth...after a year running compu2go.com I've seen most everybody...but Rob's beauty geek shot almost threw me!

I thought it was arne hess at first, so I googled borek+pda+user+group+pic & found a bit of candid photography right here at home (ontario pocket pc users group).

I THOUGHT I was bein' clever. Leon's piece of sherlock puts me to shame!

Thanks, Pocket PC Thoughts, for showing me my true inner geeknesse! 8)

True, but then you still wouldn't know who's who for all five. As far as I noticed only hints were given regarding pt and Ed.

Actually, BTW, six of the six pictures are in this thread:

Hehehe... I took it on a hot day, and tried to make the goofiest face I possibly could... and that was the end result. :P

Note: I'm not that geeky in real life. In real life, I'm slightly less geeky ;)

Hey Rob

Kinda cool that someone was able to search out your picture On The Ontario Pocket PC Users Group site. I didn't know we could be "Googled" :)

Those are the exact words that came from my wife when she saw the pictures (especially mine)!

Better hope she never sees any pictures from the last MVP Summit... ;)

I know I can be googled... do a groups.google.com search on any of the geeks up there, and be prepared for a shock (mine rang up 4210 hits) ;)

Hehehe... :D I'm a geek but not such one like these super geeks there... :lol:
Finding my photo is pretty easy (even if it is not licensed to be used there):

And no Andy, never use the Geek pics you shot from us on Möbius 2001 in Redmond last year to rerun such a contest here... :lol: :wink:
