    they released Seattle's ECCC panel schedule today: http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/programming/
    and I wish I could make at least 5 other clones so I can make it to all the panels I want to see.

    I wish I could go! What's on your schedule?

    Because in addition to recently acquiring my Cisco Certified Networking Professional certification (CCNP), I am now seriously studying virtualization (VMWare/Dropbox/Hypervisor).

    A few days ago (follow me on this one) I was able to take a windows machine, throw up a virtual linux machine, then inside of that virtual linux machine...i virtualized a windows machine. I call this process "winception". I took a screenshot of it (URL Below)

    How's that for my first post in this group? :-D

    ..........because I finished the quilt top I was making and have used it for my avatar. That's not very nerdy I hear you say! Well everything is cut and measured out to the millimetre, every piece that is sewn on is then ironed and cut to the exact size, spray starched and stacked until everything in that stage is done then i move on to the next stage, sewing starching, ironing and cutting.
    I check and re check line up seams and unpick it if don't feel it's absolutely accurate.

    Apart from that I'm perfectly normal!!!

    ... I obsessively downloaded knitting patterns for everything from Green Lantern (and friends) to Homestuck to funny cat lady sweaters and I can't wait to get started!

    They installed one of these @ my gym today: IMG_20130211_095318_zps5444e135.jpg
    As I placed my water bottle, I said to it "Tea, earl grey. Hot."

    Not today, but Saturday, I was a nerd because while flipping through channels on TV, I stopped on a rugby match and had to text my mom when I saw a team had a player named T'Pau like the character from Star Trek. I think his name was spelled differently though.

    poorly written technical documents are making me twitch. I want to comment on every bad grammar, incorrect formatting, and poorly written explanation. I have to hold my self back to just comment on the structural deficiencies as there is limited time for turn around and I have to pick my battles.

    I'm debating the merits of building a PC or just buying a Dell... or buying a laptop... and entertaining the possibility of getting a Mac just for the Retina display.

    And I just finished reading Avengers vs X-Men over the weekend. Cyclops is evil.

    I just started a huge 5+ person argument at my work over who would win in a fight: Iron Man or Batman.

    Went out for lunch with my husband and our sons. Topics of conversation include Schrodinger's cat and wave-particle duality

    Today I'm a nerd because my boyfriend and I had our third conversation THIS WEEK about the "leisure clothing" worn by the various characters on Star Trek: DS9.
