Beauty and the Geek

I'm very thankful to have such a wonderful wife. Not only do I appreciate all of her wonderful features, but I appreciate what she keeps me from getting into. Namely something like this (taken from an article on making a computer storage device housed inside of a toaster):

"Where To Do The Work?"

"The kitchen is the most appropriate place to do this kind of work. It is winter in California. The garage is cold and damp. The cat does not like it there. It is dusty and not safe for expensive electronic components. The kitchen serves no useful purpose in a geek’s life other than to host a refrigerator and to provide a repository for cat food. There are appliances there that never get used, such as the oven, stove, and dishwasher. The lighting is good and there are plenty of bench surfaces. If the kitchen had a bench-mounted vise, it would be complete and perfect."
