Signs that indicate you may be a GeoGeek (aka. GeoNerd)

Chances are good that if you are a Geo Geek then you already know it and likely refer to yourself as one. However, there’s many of you out there that may be on the fence and wondering… “am I a Geo Geek?”
Given that you’ve landed here and are reading this blog, you already may in fact be one, however, here’s a handy checklist to run through to help confirm if indeed you are a Geo Geek… enjoy!

Your twitter location status is in displayed Lat/Long (BTW doing this will harm you in Grader when people look for popular Tweeters in geographic regions)

You Brightkite check-in wherever you go
You get offended when someone asks you if you drink Kool-Aid
You pull out an atlas or place name database when you have to name your new puppy (or baby)
You actually know your latitude & longitude (and list it in your email signature)
You know what UTM zone you live in
