This was photographed on my way to the hospital (it’s a long story and also why I was sweating like a pig) in June of 2006. Anyway shortly thereafter (while I was in the hospital) the article appeared in the Orlando Sentinel (none of the nurses read the paper I guess - no one noticed) and then later the article appeared in the Roanoke Times. Here is a link to a PDF: http://kevininscoe.com/pub/Its_good_to_be_a_geek.pdf

“Kevin Inscoe, a Web site manager and administrator from Deltona, Fla., considers himself “a geek of all trades.” His interests range from amateur radio to weather and electronics, and, of course, computers. Inscoe is one of the region’s premier geeks, having assembled an online gathering place for his ilk called Central Florida Geeks (cfgeeks.org). On the site’s message board, participants chat about electronics, trends and sometimes news items that “we think are sufficiently geeky.” Inscoe encourages closet geeks to be true to themselves. “Geek people are the inventors, the creators,” Inscoe says. “They fix things, keep things going.”

Something I wish Amazon would do…

.. is syndicate one’s reviews. I found some reviewers who are very succinct and detailed and I love reading their reviews (I have even bought stuff or added it to my wish list because of them). I am trying to find a way to mention this to Jeff Bezos. ;-)

This is useful if you are hunting obsecure tech books
