Top 5 Reasons to Marry a Geek

So I’ve finally gotten around to putting up a personal blog… what better way to start than with a tongue-in-cheek entry for the Top 5 Group Writing Project. So, without further ado, here are the Top 5 Reasons to Marry a Geek:

  1. Better sleep. When the baby cries in the middle of the night, your geek can handle it. He’s already up coding or playing some unfathomable video game anyhow!
  2. Free clothes. When your geek’s clothes get all tattered, send him to a conference to pick up a pile of new t-shirts. Spend the money you save to update your own wardrobe!
  3. 24/7 technical support. When Microsoft Word crashes on you again, you know exactly who to call! It doesn’t matter if he works for Microsoft or not, he’ll know just what to do!
  4. High-definition television. Sure, it’s complicated, but your geek can handle it. So what if there are five remotes? He’ll change the channels for you!
  5. Wealth potential. That “web two-oh” thingee he’s working on in his spare time might take off. You could be rich!

P.S.: Ladies, let me let you in on a little secret… you don’t actually have to marry a geek to get these benefits… Just provide regular (rest of post deleted)

  1. Aww… this is very cute! I think, though, that in this relationship, I am technically the geek.

    Hmm.

  3. Yes, I realize I’m being a bit sexist with that post. Truth be told, though, all the female geeks I know are married to other geeks, so I have no other frame of reference :-)
    Note that the use of inclusive language was one of the changes I made to the second edition of Programming Interviews Exposed. Normally I’m pretty good about this kind of stuff….
