I just got a jolly interesting email from a reader called Mark, who wrote as follows: Hi Max, it's been a while since we've been in touch. I hope all is well in your corner of the universe. I think we're finally done with the snow for a little up here in New England! As a designer of circuit boards, and a believer that one should always have spares of everything handy, I've accumulated a variety of boards over the years, many of them un-populated. Until recently, they mostly just collected dust. Then I had a cool idea, based on my wife's tireless and wildly creative scrapbooking, I decided to scrapbook a bunch of my old PCBs. I think that you're able to appreciate the notion better than most of my non-geek friends! Anyway, if you have some time, I was wondering if you could pop over to this entry on my blog and check it out. Well, I for one am a fan. I love the way in which different technologies have evolved, so I would really like to see a PCB scrapbook starting with the earliest techniques and progressing through to today's offerings. I'll have to ask Mark if he's planning on creating such a thing. I also love the concept of blogging in general. Check out this link to the home page for Mark's blog and then scroll down to peruse and ponder his musings. If I weren't an editor at UBM Canon, I'd probably have a blog of my own. As it is, I effectively do have a blog of my own, because -- as this column shows -- I'm free to post articles about whatever's currently on my mind. Mark closed by saying: "I'd be very interested to know what you think." I replied that I thought scrapbooking PCBs was a cool idea, and Mark responded with: "I'm very glad you like it! I worry sometimes that I'm an oddball, even among geeks." Fear not Mark, you are not alone. How about you, dear reader? To what geeky hobbies do you subscribe? And do you sometimes worry that you would stand "proud in the crowd" at a geek convention?
