This morning as I was driving to work I did the same thing! You would think after 23 years I would have figured out that things don’t matter. Whoops guess not. All the same God always has a chuckle with me. He is a funny God. The reading for the day:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_Jesus said to his disciples:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“In praying, do not babble like the pagans,&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What Geek am I?</title><link>https://geekyschmidt.com/2008/01/01/what-geek-am-i/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 13:53:15 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://geekyschmidt.com/2008/01/01/what-geek-am-i/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://i2.wp.com/geekyschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/2002970797942626143_rs.thumbnail.jpg?w=700" align="left" vspace="3" hspace="3" alt="All the Geeks" data-recalc-dims="1" /&gt;  This is a picture someone published online that shows all the different types of geeks. I figured I would quickly look at the image and find, THE NICK. My issue, there is NO NICK. Narrowing down the multitude of options was difficult but I decided on 3. Those are listed below. &lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1.wp.com/geekyschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/gadget-geek.thumbnail.png?w=700" align="right" vspace="3" hspace="3" alt="gadget-geek.png" data-recalc-dims="1" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Gadget Geek&lt;/span&gt; — I have every gadget you can imagine. I use them as learning devices in order to become all the more a geek. My tool belt looks exactly like his as well as the backpack. When I looked at this picture I didn’t think what a dork, I started to figure out what gadgets the artist was showing. For the record the geek is wearing: Blackberry, iPod, Candy-bar Cellphone, UMPC, and a GPS   &lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i2.wp.com/geekyschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/apple-geek.thumbnail.png?w=700" align="left" vspace="2" hspace="2" alt="apple-geek.png" data-recalc-dims="1" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Apple Geek&lt;/span&gt; — This is a short one, looking around my office lets count the number of Apple products: iPod Shuffle, iPhone, 2×24″ iMac, Apple Extreme Router, Performa 6300, and an AppleTV in the living room. That is 7 devices. Yikes. &lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i0.wp.com/geekyschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/linux-geek.thumbnail.png?w=700" align="right" vspace="2" hspace="2" alt="linux-geek.png" data-recalc-dims="1" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Linux Geek&lt;/span&gt; — I have been using Linux 12 years (way before running Ubuntu was cool) and still use it to this day. I have a poster with Linux kernel code in my office. All devices that are capable of running Linux in my household, do. I get excited when a new kernel comes out and rush out to compile. I read over 150 RSS feeds about Linux and Open Source. I am such a dork as I re-read this. Wow…&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
