Last night just before I turned off the screen on my MythTV box to go to bed I pulled up the newsfeeds, and smack at the top of the Slashdot headlines was a story titled "Australia's Geekiest Man".
My immediate thought was "that should have been me - I want to know who around here is even geekier than I am!" so I clicked through to see who it was.
Sigh. It was me.
I don't know whether to be honored or offended about the label! AJ has already called me "Australia's manliest geek", but *that's* taking it just a bit too far ;-)
The story seems to have started a bit of a circus. I've already had about 6 journos contact me for follow-up stories, I've had 3 consulting job offers relating to RFID and automation just this morning, and two companies have offered to send me automation equipment to test out (no doubt so I can blog about it and get them more sales).
Now I just need "Australia's Geekiest Man" business cards.
