    Arrow CEDIA - Got My NERDAR Engaged

    After CEDIA, my NERDAR needs new batteries. It wasn’t like I didn’t expect it. I went to CEDIA knowing full well what I was in for. First of all, I was outnumbered by men THOUSANDS to one. I was also outnumbered by nerds/geeks TENS OF THOUSANDS to one. I had set my NERDAR sensitivity to low so that it would only go off in the case of an extreme nerd incident. Otherwise, it would have beeped from the time I landed in Denver until I left.

    I would definitely expect geeks to outnumber nerds at these type of events. Of course CES may be more balanced.

    The person working the breakfast area at our hotel must have had a PHD in nerdology.

    His famous quote of the day while I was pouring myself a bowl of apple oatmeal:

    you know what they say, a bowl of apple oatmeal a day keeps the apple oatmeal doctor away....
    After hearing that, I felt like I was pretty cool

    You're right Dina. Girls are a strange thing at CEDIA and CES; unless they are working the reception booth or are dressed up as butterflies!

    Welcome to the Audioholics "Oil Machine" Group, since we are the only two girls that got to experience it so far!! You won't be alone for long.

    That was a funny quote of his! Reminds me of college. I was a resident advisor one year, and I had to pass out keys the first day that the dorms opened. Of course, all of us guys were waiting to see if we had any cute girls on our floors (and vice versa for the girl RAs, I'm sure). This one nerdy looking kid showed up and walked up to me. Turns out, he was on my floor (the third floor). I handed him his room key, he looked down at it, chuckled and said, "Heh, heh. 386. Same number as my processor." He then kinda shuffled away. I was no prize, but I (like Gene at the breakfast area) felt awfully cool in that moment.

    Lucas is a putz - there was no reason for Padme to die - she gave out on her two kids and as a result it was the stupidest scene/storyline in the history of science fiction...

    Oh crap, I need to get over this... lol.
