She was sure I couldn't get any geekier. ;-)

Boy, did she back the wrong horse in that race!

Odd TAoE story:.... The eBay auction closes at 2PM pacific on Tuesday the 17th. $46+$3. I send money immediately through eBay payments... Everything goes quiet.

I pick up my mail/stuff this afternoon, and there's a heavy box from Barnes and Noble. I open it, and it is an anonymous, gift-wrapped copy of (you guessed!) The Art of Electronics! I get home a few hours later, and there's a UPS shipping confirmation from the seller (who has sold more than 1 copy of this, it looks like -- or maybe the same copy relisted??). Anyhow, I look on the bn.com page and TAoE is still listed -- discounted -- at $62.

Koyaanisqatsi!!
