Top 11 Ways Geeks Celebrate Christmas & Worst Gifts For Geeks
BBSpot usually has amusing articles and I spotted a few that should fit nicely into today's' seasonal off-topic Friday post. They present the top 11 worst Geek Christmas gifts as well as the top 11 ways Geeks celebrate Christmas. Here's a few items from that last list:
- 5 - Put a santa hat on your avatar.
4 - Change the blue neon lights in the case to flashing red and green.
3 - Decorating the tree with SDRAM and CPUs burned out from your last overclocking experiment.
2 - Rewriting Christmas carols in Tolkien's Elvish.
1 - Programming the christmas lights to flash out "I hate this holiday of unbridled consumerism" in binary.
I seriously considered doing nr 5 till lack of time got the better of me. :lol: Well, not long to go now. How many of you are hoping for Pocket PC related gifts tomorrow and have you been good boys and girls to get the goodies? :wink:

Does decorating the Activesync logo in red and green count?(Look at my avatar) :lol:
As for what I want that is PPC related, I'm hoping for a Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse, or maybe a second battery for my X30...

I've noticed that one for a while now. It does count. You win.
I, like Jonathon, was also thinking of "decorating" my avatar, but time got the better of me.
