minus zero

It's been brought to my attention that I don't post as often as I should.

I have but one retort, Mr Blackstock:

Oops. (from Boing Boing).

Isn't it weird that moonlight isn't actually from the moon?

I recently had an epiphany of my geekiness, which was reinforced by a near identical incident today.

On Sunday, in the car on the way to Cardiff with Jen's mother Ruth, we had a conversation which went something like:

*rain hammers down outside the car*
Ruth: Dave, it's pouring with rain outside, do you have a Mac?
Dave: *after wondering how the two were related for a few moments* Erm, no , but I'd really like one. They're quite expensive though!
Ruth: Well you'll get soaked! Don't you have a coat at all?
Dave: Oh! You meant a mac as in a rain coat! I thought you mean an Apple Mac computer!
Ruth: You've got a one track mind!

Needless to say I was left feeling slightly bewildered and embarrassed, but it obviously didn't have enough of an effect on me to prevent the same thing happening today:

(in a Jabber conversation)
Jen: Do you have a mac?
Dave: No, but I'd love to have one. I'm actually using one on campus now, funny you should ask.
Jen: hahaha, mum told me about the conversation you had in the car the other day! You've got a one track mind!

So, yes. Evidently my obsession with all things Apple has taken ahold of me more than I had previously realised.
