The Geekiest Thing You've EVER Seen. . . Guaranteed
This was shown to me by my roommate and friend, Technomancer. It is quite possibly the GEEKIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Open your favorite command-line environment and telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl
If you don't think this is simultaneaously the most outrageously nerdy and awesome thing you've ever seen. . . then we need to get together for beers TONIGHT; you obvously don't drink nearly enough.

That's awesome.
Someone has too much time on their hands obviously, though.

Yes, that's wickedly the geekiest thing ever. Who needs the trilogy DVD set when you got telnet.
May the force be with you all...WIP: CCENT/CCNA (.....probably) -

Seeing as I started at a time when there was no web or web browsers and all there was telnet and ftp and usenet to get to something that might be interesting or useful, I have got to say that that is extremely good. (downloading a pron picture and reassembling the various parts of the image could take a whole day back then)
Must have taken absolutely ages to do... just imagine how long.. and the absolute bastion of nerdiness I have ever seen. (discounting the guy with a zx81 hooked up to external drives and dot matrix printers and wires running all over the place covering about 10 square feet of space with the little black zx81 sitting 4 in by 3 in right in the centre.
Glad I saw this for my 500th post. Thanks for posting that.
Enough was enough at the robot auction for me though. I live in wonder that they might have done the entire film !Kam. -

Watched again and I think you, in 2008, have found THE ultimate geek....
What is more worrying is that, as you watch it, you just know the guy has some serious blisters !Kam. -

Wow that's a lot of wasted time...Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
