Well, I'm not a geek, but I finally broke down and bought myself a digital camera: the Nikon coolpix 2100. I bought a used one for a decent price, and then I spent all afternoon taking pictures of everything in sight. It came with a puny 16MB compact flash card (which holds 42 1600x1200 images), but I have a 256MB card that I bought for my PDA (which I never use) that can hold nearly 700 pictures.
What's that? You want to see 'em?
Obligatory self-portrait
Too cute for mere words
Here comes trouble
It's pretty cool, and maybe I'll have an opportunity to use it to do some real reporting sometime. I'll carry it around, just in case; Pulitzer, here I come.
I wonder how many more times you can repeat, "I'm not a geek," before you finally admit that you love your toys. =)
Well, it's just a strange coincidence that I happen to have some geeky posts right after I write my non-geek manifesto.
