“He’s gettin’ a tattoo, he’s gettin’ ink done, he asked for a “13” but they drew a “31”” *
I have a fervent, unholy love for Wired Magazine. Over the years, the good people on the masthead have taught me about the long tail, electric cars, Linkin Park’s most persistent stalker, how to create my own fake identity, and how to make ginger beer (harder than it looks.)
The multimedia section has a wonderful selection of photographs of geek tattoos. My favorite comment from one of the inked marvels is this: “Since tattoos were illegal in Oklahoma until only a couple of years ago, my friends and I made a tradition out of annual road trips for tattoos. Every time I can’t think of something new, I add some more digits to pi. It’s up to 80 digits.”
“Every time I can’t think of something new, I add some more digits to pi.” Now there’s a mantra for you.
* Most of you are too young to remember that song. But I am old, and curmudgeonly, and it makes me happy.

I share your devotion to Wired! It's so keyed into my interests and passions it feels like it's being edited and curated just for me.
Weirdly, I'm about to get my first tattoo in a week or two, and it's definitely geekdom -- I'll post a pic once it happens.
F**K YEAH!!!! THE OFFSPRING!!!!!!
...And all the girls say he's pretty fly, for a white guy!
