A Geek's Answer

It was the end of the day. We were chatting in his office after the work was done. It was time to go, but neither of us did.

You got any hobbies, he asked.

We had just met and were getting to know each other. It was inevitable that he'd ask the question eventually.

Hobbies. I've never had any hobbies. Oh, maybe a bit of stamp collecting. Or maybe a brief attempt at square foot gardening. The fact of the matter is, I've never had a good answer to this question.

This time, however, I had an answer.

Weblogs, I blurted out without even thinking.

And then I thought, What kind of lame hobby is that?

What is this guy with a house in the woods that he's building himself going to make of some guy who calls weblogs his hobby.

And I proceeded to talk his ear off.
