What's your geek button?

[Rapscallion]

Those on my FB have been subjected to many albums of castle pictures over the last couple of years. Some are in better states of repair than others.

Been looking at other venues for me to go 'ooh' and 'ahh' at appropriate moments of late. Thinking of heading out at some point next weekend to see something, but don't know what yet.

one of the engines he used to drive (it's called the Oliver Cromwell)

Does it have a round top, or just iron sides?

I'm one of those annoying people who tends to be good at everything they try their hand at - as long as it's technical rather than social. So I have a *lot* of geek buttons.

The main one is computers, of course, but I've got pretty deep into the inner workings of railways as well.

[RayvenQ]

Warhammer 40,000, at least the lore side of it, not so much the tabletop side nowadays, I know a ridiculous amount of the lore of 40k.

bit of a transformers nut here, have bee building computers since the age of 11 or 12, camera gear, and good old pc games

[protege]

Let's see now... old cars, trains, computers, Legos. What can I say, other than I enjoy building things. Then there's the model collection. Most of my "exhibits" were built up from out-of-production kits, usually ones that nobody seems to have. The more obscure, the better.

[siskaren]

Disney is probably my biggest geek button.

Does it have a round top, or just iron sides?

I see what you did there! Lol..... and it's got both! Look!

Transformers, Television and animal rescues.

Love me my transforming robots...they ARE more than meets the eye. *serious look*

Love watching TV, especially binge watching stuff on Netflix or off of the 4500+ episodes of TV I have ripped from discs - both DVD and Blu-Ray

My wife and I are currently foster parenting a 10 year old male schnauzer while they look for a good home for him. If it wasn't for his lack of a lot of teeth, you couldn't tell he was 10.

Bowling.

Now who wants to smell my balls? The brand of bowling balls I use are scented (Butterscotch, Lime, Blueberry Muffin, Black Cherry, and Iced Cranberry).

For me its sci-fi (esp Star Trek and Star Wars,) and books, mostly anything in the DUNE series, and anything else sci-fi/fantasy themed. My 2nd favorite series is Roger Zelazny's Amber chronicles - I re-read the entire series at least once if not twice a year.

I also love card games. Hubby and I play cards nearly every night. Spades, Cribbage, 2-man Solitaire, Hearts, Canasta, etc.

Some of the insanity that currently sits on my workbench. These are two of my 1/24 scale Ford engines. The red one is a 352 (300 horsepower) V8 out of a '58 Thunderbird, the blue one is a 289 (200HP) V8 out of a 1964.5 Mustang. Still awaiting air cleaners, minor assembly...and chassis units to put them in. Oh, and that's a quarter

[drunkenwildmage]

oh lets see..

Auto Racing: (use to be strictly NASCAR, but follow most forms anymore.. Been gravitating more towards the Australian V8 Supercars recently)

Relating to auto racing Online Sim Racing, or more specificity iRacing.com. Pretty much the only online 'gaming' that I do.

Table Top RPGs
Sci-fi
Model Railroading.

Used to be into US War history, but I've gotten away from that as I gotten older.

[April]

The Walking Dead, books, especially ones that I LOVED or ones that I HATED, and with certain open minded people, religions.

Here's a weird one: educational methods.

I work in a school and I have this weird craving to look into schools in-depth. I've actually started a blog about it, although it's early days

At this stage it's just focusing on the Australian system, although I plan on looking at other countries systems and comparing them to the Australian one further down the track.
