Via nefas, the You are Such a Dork Chain Letter “Meme” Thing:

List 5 reasons you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud of how big a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.

1. My job title is “Senior Unix System Administrator”.
2. I am a licensed amateur radio operator.
3. My first career was rock critic and arts journalist.
4. I went to work for AOL as an online “Guide” in 1991 because I was spending too much money playing their online D&D game and needed free access.
5. I laugh out loud, geeksnorting, at the cleverly multilayered cultural references in Umberto Eco’s novels.

Hm, five biggest dorks I know? Competition here is stiff, so I’ll just kinda pick five of the people I know, almost all of whom are dorks of some type.
