I wouldn't qualify as a geek any longer, but there are a lot of excellent things I've been hacking on in my evenings and weekends, or intending to hack on soon: 1) Wedging stupid languages onto the iPhone and whipping out an app or two a week (ad hoc distribution for itch-scratching for self, family, friends, and neighbors) 2) Arduino hacking (soon, now that the old version is throwaway cheap) 3) MakerBot stinky plastic fabrication 4) CUDA programming I still screw around with my Mac Pro too much, constantly upgrading the internal drives (SSD) and external DAS. If I'm doing this, and I'm a middle manager for a retailer, I have to imagine technical people are doing incredibly interesting things. The stuff I'm doing would have blown my mind when I was 7 years old. (That's 31 years ago.) The rest of my wanking is pseudo-philosophical, thinking about agorism and the profit margin possible while eliminating scarcity, and wondering why I'm up at 1:20am updating my BibTeX database and posting on HN when I have to go be boring at work in eight hours.
