Time for a name change?
So, Its been suggested to me that I rename my blog to: Discreet Geek instead of Discount Geek...
Apparently I'm not so much of a geek at first appearance. "You'd never suspect you're a geek until your in the know. You don't fit the stereotypes of a geek on the outside, but some of the things you do subtly give you away". - Ash.
Thoughts?

No offence to Ash, but "discreet geek" sounds a bit silly.

Maybe I should give some examples. What do you think ed? Should I tell them about the time I lost you in the movie theatre only to find you starring intently at an arcade game, not because it looked fun to play but because you wanted to figure out how it worked. You looked like a kid watching tv for the first time. Or, I could tell them about the time I found you readinga bunch of technology textbooks...for fun!
I must admit, Ed's a hot guy. It masks his geekishness well...that is, until you take a closer look.

I was looking at one of those claw games where you have a robotic claw and can grab the stuff below, and if you get it - you can keep it.
I want to build a CNC router and they have the same X Y Z axis type setup that I need to build, so it was a good learning example.
.. then again I guess that totally proves Ash's point lol

I understand that, i just mean the name sounds audibly...wrong. It's just the double "ee". Also Ed won't introduce us for some reason so hi, i'm Cam. I live in Australia.

Ed, Ash is DEFINATELY 100% right. You're a geek.
But, being a geek is cool now...so, it's all ok :) It's the geeks that have all of the good ideas, businesses and money. lol
So geek = cool when you're older than 16 :)
Cam..lol..I can't POSSIBLY imagine why Ed wouldn't want to intro you to all of his closest friends.. ;) ..hehe..just kiddin'...btw..when are you gettin' back down to Sydney!?!? Come before the end of Nov so we can hang out, kay?!?! :P Or else, the end of Jan when I'm home again...

I WISH, Vroni, but sadly i can't afford to. I have $17 right now, and when i next DO get some money i need to spend it on computer upgrades.... you could always come and visit me, you know :P I'm applying for a couple of jobs atm, one in photography and one doing some part time modelling/acting, so we'll see how that goes. Prayer could be good.
