What sort-of-geeky thing do you do on your mac?

[weremermaid]

I'm starting this thread since I am reluctantly recognizing I do own a geeky bone in my female body after all. What about you?

On my playtime, I'm a:
1. Typhoon chaser, reading satellite images of storms hitting Asia up to southwestern part of the Pacific.

Last night, I finally identified the mysterious island parallel to Mindanao as Palau, part of the Micronesian Island chain, and tracked the path of storms 06W (beating up Yap the 2nd time this year), storm 05W threatening the southern coast of Vietnam while another storm was moving in from the Indian Ocean to mess up Culcutta. That was after watching the path of SuperTyphoon Nida veer of a bit NE to Taiwan and southern Japan.

Favorite satellite map site - Joint Typhoon Warning Center


2. Spam hunter, tracking spammers by running their IP adresses with anti-spam tools.
GeekTools
UXN Spam Combat


3. Play Boggle Classic against a programmed online game, knowing I won't ever win but I do learn a few new words.

If you're not sure you qualify as a geekette or gal technosexual, try this
questionaire, just pretend you're male.
