It's the first time in a long time that health issues have caused me to miss work.  I love doing what I do for a living and if anything I spend way too much time working because I love it so much.   But, the last few days have got me thinking.  Since what I do involves computers, and I have this thing about loving what I do for a living, what would I have been 200 years ago?  If I take a few minutes and strip away all the crap, I am a geek.  I am a computer geek mostly.  But, a geek in general.  Now the way I define geek, and I think most will agree, is a person that is strongly focused in the study of and/or application of technical skill and/or knowledge.  So, in a broad since, everyone is a geek.  Their are computer geeks, film geeks, automative geeks, literature geeks, and I'm sure there are even water geeks out there.  With that in mind I know I would be a geek of some kind.  Now, I also see myself as a knowledge well.  A person that other use to gain more knowledge or skills.  I have so many interests that I pick up bits and pieces and can vomit tons of information, not all of it useful, on anyone that asks.  Sometimes, even without someone asking. :)   I also see myself as a go to guy.  Someone that can figure out a solution to any problem.  As long as we agree that my way is right, I'm even able to listen to other peoples suggestions. :)  So, with all that in mind I think I have my answer.  I'd be a blacksmith.  200 years ago, if you needed something made or fixed you'd find a blacksmith.  They had a ton of technical knowledge about metals, wood, and even some animals.  You almost couldn't have a community without one.  So, I'd be a blacksmith. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>So&#x2c; what is twitter ?</title><dc:creator>Shawn butts</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><dc:date>2008-04-15T19:15:07-04:00</dc:date><link>http://shawnbutts.com/files/e83e022e9614e46ef1ea7fc70128d160-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://shawnbutts.com/files/e83e022e9614e46ef1ea7fc70128d160-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Check out <a href="http://twitter.com" rel="external">http://twitter.com</a>.
