Something About Being Weird

1 Comment

Just in case you didn’t realize, I am a weirdo. Yep, 100%. Maybe each of us is weird in our own way. One thing about being weird is the things in life that makes one happy. Sometimes being weird means that finding people who share in your weirdness isn’t easy. I don’t think being weird is a choice, it’s how you are wired, it is core to who you are.

My friends, embrace what makes you different. It’s OK to march to the beat of a different drummer. I have found that weird things, media, people, and other stuff helps me cope with this world we live in.

I think more places need weird, quirky, unconventional, artistic people to make it better. Not being tied to the way others think is freedom. It’s about being authentic and not hiding things in a bushel.

To my fellow weirdos, I am with you. We are kin. We are community.

Me And Ubuntu 22.04

3 Comments

I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop. This is now a dual-boot system with Windows 10 on the other partition. Having some flexibility in my computing is a good thing.

I can do a lot of things using this open-source operating system including all the things that go into blogging. The system seems to run faster and I have done a good amount of customization, and the computer I use has a couple of years on it. Nerds love stuff like this if you ask me.

Yes, I am a big fan of Toronto as you can see on my wallpaper.

Being A Geek

1 Comment

A clean install of your computer’s operating system is a good idea. However, when you have to do it because you screw up is not always fun. I have made that error more times than I can count. Fortunately, my prior experience is helpful when unscheduled maintenance is needed. Being a geek is beneficial when you need to correct your mistakes. It’s helpful to be a geek if you ask me.

Still Nerdy, Stay Nerdy

6 Comments

As a nerd grows older does, he/she will they still have the enthusiasm about the stuff they are interested in? This is a question I am wondering about. Right now, I am in my 50’s and I am still nerdy about a lot of stuff, and I suppose I have my church (there are loads of nerds there), friends, and the Internet to thank for that. I just hope I don’t lose that sense of curiosity and joy that comes along with being a different sort of dude who sees things from a vastly different lens.

Stay nerdy my friends. Stay nerdy. Be yourself. The world needs us
