People consider me a techie person. Maybe. Although I think I’m more of someone with a techie mind. A techie person would have a whole lot of techie stuff. S/he may or may not understand those gadgets and gizmos deeply, but s/he would be able to acquire and use them somehow. I don't think I have enough—and frequently new—consumer devices to qualify as a techie person. Either I choose not to buy or my wallet disagrees with me. Eitherway, I find it entertaining to get updated with most if not all tech trends.
Geekery doesn't stop there. I find interest in anime and related hobbies—figures, gunpla, etc. I don't think I’m in the same level as some of my closest friends, but I must be more in depth than most of anime's target demographic. My anime indulgence is also a bit limited to mecha and even more limited to the Gundam franchise. I have to admit, the only Macross series I’ve seen is frontier. Of course, it's not totally just mecha. But yeah, not super otaku level.
I don't think I’m a gamer. I [used to] say, I’m no gamer, more of a player. But I keep up with at least popular knowledge of the gaming industry. Somehow, it does feel right to be simply informed. I’m also a pc gamer. Never owned and was never good at consoles. But as I said, still informed.
Lastly, music must be one of the driving forces in my life and many around me. I consider myself and average musician. I play the guitar and bass and know how to read music. I’ve been performing with bands from time to time and sing in a choir. I have established my taste and have my opinions on music and the music industry. There's some geekery to that, too.
I do find interest in other stuff and they may appear on this blog.
There you go, a blog of geekery, somewhere in the middle of it. This isn't entry level nor hardcore. This is Geekery Middle.
