The Life Cycle of a Geek

1. It’s new! It’s cool! Gonna stay up all night learning about it—I’m not one of those losers with a life.

2. One decruftified phase-wrapped asynchronous noodle-endian spungle with lightweight blivet, fine. Would you like that yesterday, or is an hour ago good enough?

3. I know I’m getting older. I can no longer remember the names of all my former computers.

4. Another new operating system to learn? Augh! It’s gotten so this happens every ten years.
