    But will the tax office believe you when you write off all your ‘essen­tial’ geek toys? :-)

    Mum == geek?

    This is a nature vs. nuture ques­tion. Sci­ent­ists say its 80% nur­ture and 20% nature.

    Geek­i­ness is def­in­itely from both sides of my fam­ily tree. Book smarts from my mum’s side and street smarts from my dad’s…

    … and yes, you do pass your geek genes on to the next generation…

    Suc­cess!
    But remem­ber: life is sim­pler when you plough round the stumps

    If you were an Aus­ralian farmer, you would know that a stick a gelig­nite + tree stump == wood­chips :-)
