Someone should develop a/. quiz to see how much of a./er one is or isn't. There was a nerd quiz some time ago in a "popular" computer magazine (I believe they do it every year,) and I won't say I failed miserably, but I certainly didn't pass. There's such a thing as obsessing about computers, and I'm glad my home and family still has place in my life. Though I'm sure the chess thing took like what, maybe 5 mins to assemble, and 1 hour to photograph? (had to find just the right cape for the photo op -- Apparently that kid hasn't seen the Incredibles yet!!!! Capes are bad!)
Off topic (apologies,) but lurked the site and.... check out his http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/geowrite/stuff.
(way off topic-- slay me): Reminds me-- anybody do any cam-caching lately? Kinda like geocaching, but requires traffic cams and a buddy...
Other nerdly hobbies: what about those college kids in that commercial that try to touch squirrel tails in the park... Or photo scavenger hunts...
Anybody have a price estimate for this chess set?
Maybe I shoulda done all these posts separately. Maybe I'M the one that needs the hobby.

Definitely not a true /.er...
