What has happened to me? (and where's my red bird?)

My posts used to be decidedly witty, whimsical, thought provoking, perhaps even charming. Then *pow* suddenly back to geek mode. I hate how that happens. I now work for a company that makes HDTV equipment and while not the most interesting company in the world, i do like the work and I get to watch HDTV whenever i want. Plus lots of trips to TV stations in the DC area and lost of free lunch. So all in all not too bad.

When I was a kid my dad was a purchasing agent. His job was to exclusively deal with vendors who were desperate to have their products involved with Sohio. (remember Sohio?) He used to always talk about these things he seemed to get on a fairly regular basis called red birds. I don't think I figured out that a red bird was free lunch until i was like 16.
