A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I own five theremins with a sixth on the way. Do I win?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think it's a safe bet that you own more theremins than any of us. But do any of them run linux?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Actually, I think it's a safe bet that he owns more than all of us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, but music-y stuff is not as geeky as computers. Multiply the number of theremins you own by 0.921....

Although to be fair, I think the theremin is the geekiest musical instrument ever....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Although to be fair, I think the theremin is the geekiest musical instrument ever....

Theremins are way geekier than computers. The factor should be greater than one.

Well, the coolness factor of being a musician cancels out much of the geekieness of the theremin. So the factor 0.921 already takes that into account.

Hey. New board.

No, Theremin is totally geekier than computer.

The geekiest of all, though? The Theremin emulator for Palm OS. Discovered by me, accidentally, while hunting to see if I could find a SNES emulator (can't. Sega Genesis is a go, but no SNES. And the only NES emulator is non-free. Bah.)

I still have a ColecoVision.

Coding and Sleeping

I still have a ColecoVision.

That beats my Atari 400. I kinda wish I had kept my Atari ST, that was a oddball computer. I almost bought a used Lisa once, but I couldn't justify the money.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Unless you count my Radio Shack PC-1 (The first "pocket computer" - actually, a Radio Shack-badged version of the Sharp PC-1211.) Or my TI-55 programmable scientific calculator.
