Yes, I am a geek.
One who uses technology to my benefit, advantage, and definitely for entertainment.
While I was packing last night, I thought to myself that it would be nice to have Sirius Radio,
as then we could listen to Radio Margaritaville on our voyage. I asked around at work to see if
I could borrow any of the Sirius radios left in stock, but I was met with lots of opposition. Alas,
I had to find other methods of opportunity.
Enter online streaming from RadioMargaritaville.com.
However, driving down the road, how was I supposed to get to a computer, let alone Internet Access? Then I thought to myself,
‘Self, I have a computer, a nice laptop, actually!’. Well that takes care of the computer, but what
about Internet access. Enter GEEK. Long story short, I hacked my Palm phone to connect my computer
to the Internet, and with Christy’s tape-deck replacement cd player, voila, streaming Radio Margaritaville on the Car Radio.
So as Christy and I are driving south of Pueblo, listening to Buffet-style tunes, I am writing this blog entry.
Yes, I am a geek.
Christy just asked if I was proud of myself for this. A resounding YES I AM! is the answer.
Blame it on Buffet.
