This week I attended the bTWEEN conference on interactive media in Bradford. There were some great speakers and I got to meet some very interesting people and have more of those “wouldn’t it be great if” conversations.
The big news is that according to the bTWEEN Geek-o-meter (a questionnaire – see below) I am officially 100% Geek. I thought I’d managed to walk the fine line between being ‘cool’ and ‘geek’ for most of my formative days… looks like it was all in vain and I must now accept that I am definitely not going to be a ‘cool dad’!
Find out your geek rating:
1. You choose concentration over conformity? – 33%
2. You regularly update your blog from your smartphone? – 20%
3. You’ve fully converted your music collection from CD to MP3? – 16%
0% - What!? I feel cheated... where's the one about collecting music made in numbers of less than 20 and only buying vinyl from certain pressing plants EH? EH?
Dude, you practically ARE scully from the xfiles...
I think it's a foregone conclusion that however hard we try to be cool, children will always find a way to make sure we feel like the uber geeks we really are!
100% Geek
