I Heart Nerds

Why to I love nerds? Because I am one. I recently convinced Sam into a new monitor. The 17" extra large box outsized our cute Pottery Barn desk. My roommate Laurie and I bought in during the college years only because my first one had conked out and it was cheap (not stylish). Sam agreed. I search the web for the best deal and ended up with a 19” wide screen (OOH AHH). After the box arrived at the door...I found a problem. My graphics card couldn't support my super cool new flat screen. So to the internet I returned(and Fry’s) I go for a new graphics card. Well once thing lead to another and I’m typing on a NEW computer. One gig of processing power, 200 GB of hard drive, DVD burner and a graphics card to support my new monitor...things that make this girl VERY happy. In most marriages you might expect the man to get energized about bites and bytes. But I am the nerd.

I’ve known I am a nerd for a while…in high school I took programming classes, in college I hooked everyone’s computer up (include linking our personal computers to the dorm printer to save money on paper and ink) and now at work I get all the "my computer isn't working can you help" questions.

The most exciting thing about my new computer is with the increase spend I can work on graphics and video editing more. Hopefully I’ll come up with some really good footage. Until then…I’ll keep you up to date with all the coolest websites.
